Christmas

 For the first time in my memory the kids did not wake up at 5 AM on Christmas morning!

The night before we went to the St Mary's Chruch Christmas Eve service.  Nora and Stuey each had  a short reading in the service and there were lots of beautiful readings and holiday songs sung.

This was the year of "no toys, no battery operated anything" under the tree and it was lovely. Books, pajamas, sweaters, knives….simple.
