My personal carolers, just back from the Festival of Lights.
Diana's spot.
Connor's spot.
Trevor's spot.
Our spots.
Singing "Jingle Bells."
After reading the Christmas story, singing the carols & wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, we can open the gifts.
Connor's favorite came from Trevor: Super Mario Galaxy for his Wii. Connor's been wanting that one since before he got his Wii!

Big win for Diana - she gave her dad a Sonic Screwdriver. Same size & shape as the one David Tennant uses on Doctor Who :)
Lee also got this totally awesome gaming keyboard (from me). He kept leaving the website open to the page with this on it when he'd leave his computer... just a little hint for me...
See Carolyn? The shirt fits!! 
The aftermath :)
Connor's Teller. I made the little stars, but all the other baking stuff didn't make it to the plates! The lebkuchen & spritz were all gone!
The new keyboard lit up in red (you can choose any color). The little screen does something too - it would be too much info for me.
And I got a Macy's shopping spree: Short boots, jeans, 4 long-sleeved t-shirts, a sweater & a jacket. And I still have $40 on the card. The gift card was the same cost as the keyboard - I think I got the better deal.

Looks like a wonderful evening! I think it is easier to keep our "personal" family traditions when it is just you. I have 8 other people on Christmas Eve so we have to condense a little. The main thing is the Christmas story and the gifts to Jesus from the kids. But yours reminds me more of how we used to do it! : )
