'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Well, I think we were 2 out of 5 on our quest for Holiday Traditions. We didn't make it to Christmas Eve service, we didn't watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and there was no Swedish Tea Ring! We did get the tea ring a few days earlier for my Dad's birthday though, so we didn't have to suffer a total lack of it.
On Christmas Eve we did allow E to open her first gift, which was The Night Before Christmas, and read it to her for the first time. I meant to write a little inscription in it, but wrapped it before that got done. I was reminded that she wouldn't know the difference and that I should write it later and attach a copy of a picture with all of us reading it.
I think she enjoyed it!
