It is the week before Christmas and all through the house not a kiddo was studying not even a...little bit! ; ) (sorry, but nothing rhymes with 'house' and my brain is fried from a gazillion Christmas errands!) Yahoo, this home school mom loves Christmas break! The gifts are bought, the goodies for the neighbors are baked, dress shirts taken to dry cleaner and next up is: grocery shopping, cleaning and some baking for friends. The boys have been busy learning Christmas songs for tonight's youth service which was awesome. -The Little Drummer Boy with 4 drummers playing was pretty awesome. Great message too. Love our youth ministry! Our church does a very moving Christmas Eve candle light worship service every year and I CAN'T wait! It is a beautiful and formal evening. We aren't able to attend our favorite Puerto Rican family's Christmas Eve party afterwards since my hubby's brother can't stay out late. (he's a stroke patient) And do they party late! lol So, we are making our own tradition... So far it looks like it will include the early candle light service, a fancy dinner cooked by my guys (whoo-hoo!) and watching a Christmas movie. Sunday, we will be opening gifts, eating, worshiping, then more eating and going to a movie. : ) Can't wait! Tis the season! Hope you have yourselves a merry little Christmas! ~Becky
