Christmas Eve

We have to share around here, so this year our family "shared" the married ones with their in-laws for Christmas Day, and we got the 26th for our Christmas Day. We also got the late evening of Christmas Day for our Christmas Eve. Got that?

On our Christmas Eve we had our annual traditional St. Lucia dinner, with Swedish meatballs, lutefisk, seafood, potatoes, lingonberries, and many other goodies. This year I also made a cookie tree using a set of cutters that I found at a garage sale in the summer. Love those bargains!

Later, we hung our stockings on the mantel. There were two very excited little boys running around. It was amazing that we got even one non-blurry boy.

So the cookie tree must start with larger stars at the base. Great idea. What is on the ends--frosting?

We spend Christmas Eve at our friend's church (since we don't have a service) and then went out to Dennys' with them for some Red Velvet Puppies and decaf. Christmas morning was for our worship. Many of the church family had their lunch at church and stayed there all day. We went to Herb's daughter's home at 2 pm.
