I got this bright idea this year, to organize a neighborhood caroling hayride. It was really fun. We picked up neighborhood families, and a few more met us at our home then we went through the neighborhoods in the area singing and picking up families from our ward then rounded the loop and sang to a family I had never met but who had lost there mother earlier that year. I thought a 24ft trailer would be sufficient but it was pretty tight. I was pretty nervous we wouldn't have room for everyone, but it worked out just fine. I think we will continue this each year.
Christmas Bells...I love this tradition that we learned from the Hillman's. I found a site with directions on how to make these steel chimes and my awesome Dad was able to make them for me. We had so much fun.
Cuteness. What else is there to say. 
It's always fun to torture the kids and make them re-enact the nativity. What I love even more is the actual reading in the scriptures and singing Christmas hymns together. Thank you again Hillmans for your awesome organization of this. We made sure to make a copy of the program this year, so we will be that much more prepared next year. I love our 24 days of Christmas book. It is one of our most treasured belongings. We look forward to it every year. What I don't have pictures of is our trek to Winterhaven, and Christmas Day. I love the entire Christmas season, but I really love spending Christmas Eve celebrating with family with fun and spirit filled traditions.
