Another Christmas Eve

When our oldest son, Steve was in the Cradle Row in our church in Topeka they gave him a plan for Christmas Eve at home. It required a few candles, a Bible and some reading. We used it all the while our children grew up. We set up a card table and found all the candles in the house. Then my husband, Ray, read what it said. We did not start to go to church on Christmas Eve until our granddaughter, Hayden, was baby Jesus in their program. We always had eggnog after the reading. It made for a pleasant Christmas Eve setting.After the children went to bed I climbed the ladder to the attic where their gifts were stored. I wrapped them in whatever color tissue paper they had chosen and put together anything that had to be assembled like doll houses and the such. My husband had four holidays a year off from the job at the KC Star and he always took Christmas Eve as one of them.
