Christmas eve

On Christmas eve we went to Church. In the kids service we pretended we were journeying to see Jesus, we got tinsel halos like the angles and little streamers to wave before the newborn king. (We have played that again were we go round our house searching for Jesus and following the star-mommy plays the part of star sometimes.) That night mom and dad let us open a gift from Opa and Oma -new pjs and slippers. We also put up baby Jesus on our advent calendar. Then after we went to bed mom and dad became elves and brought out our gifts and assembled the necessary presents. We didn't really wake up early and even ate breakfast before tearing into gifts the next day.
