Christmas Eve

One of our favorite traditions is our Christmas Eve Program. It starts after the big dinner and candy sled racing. Everyone shares something-- talents, stories, songs etc..   Grandma shares a new Christmas Story.  The evening always ends with the singing of a lullaby and reading of the Savior's birth.   Then we move onto the "Stuff it Game" which is really fun for all the kids-and parents!!   My sister Jenna reads the fast paced  story about a Christmas elf and we have mystery gifts wrapped or put into paper sacks and sealed.  Every time the word "stuff" is mentioned, you pass your bag.  What gift you end up with at the end of the story is yours!  It's hilarious with 30 or so people passing, and afterward there is always serious trading going on! There are always a few new toddlers who don't like the "passing of the bags"  but like to hold on to the one they are handed.  ;-)
