    that’s that’s the best part is watching the children open their gifts that’s my favorite part. I love to see the little kids open the gifts. Make precious memories guys do it for the children. I hope they watch these videos when they get older and they see all the precious memories that you guys made for them.

    Christmas was hard for my family this year, my grandma died December 11th after a somewhat lengthy illness that started right after thanksgiving, but the thing that kept us going was knowing she is gonna be with her lord and savior and she was ready to go! She was 95 yrs old we had her funeral yesterday which was bittersweet, seeing a lot of family I don’t see often. Our tradition is on Christmas Eve we would watch The Nativity Story. The biggest blessing is that my mom’s folks spent Christmas with us and took me back to their place til my grandma’s funeral on my dad’s side. Happy Holidays and God Bless!

  • @monstertruckfan8450

    Our Christmas tradition for the past 37 years ... 1) read the Christmas story from The Seamless Bible which we read starting at Chapter 1 (Luke 1: 1, The Great Announcement) all the way through Chapter 3 (The Protected Childhood, Luke 2:52). Then we open presents. Your game at your Mom & Dad's looks like a real fun time. What a nice big group you guys had gathered together.

So important to be together and enjoy the family time which is the most cherished gift. It was a good Christmas here though I missed my Mom, I felt appreciation for my blessings. It looked like a wonderful time for you all too.
