Here are some of the gifts I received from family on Christmas Eve...
An Autographed 20th Anniversary copy of Tom Hegg's book and a box of Chocolate Covered Cherries [these take me back to my childhood as they were always under the Christmas tree for me growing up].
A Scone Mix [Cherry Almond] for tea time and a miniature Christmas teacup.
Some tea for tea time!
The inside flap of my Mary Frances purse.
Inside that fancy little coin purse a $100 bill was tucked and another miniature teacup ornament. Of all the wonderful gifts under the tree, the best was the gift of God's Son, Jesus, and having most of my family to celebrate with.
We always play a game after the Christmas story is read from Luke Chapter 2, and all the presents are opened. This year I ordered the Family Edition of Tales. It was a fun game. A sample question is: What's your go-to comfort food that reminds you of home?
Christmas Day was a lazy day for hubby and me. In the afternoon we went to our son and daughter-in-law's house [Steve & Sharon]. More of Sharon's Gingerbread decorations [I shared some at Thanksgiving].
Everyone loves having Brianna home for the holidays. She returned to Nashville today.
After we ate, we began watching the classic movie, "It's a Wonderful Life."
Many miles away in Oceanside, California was granddaughter, Tiffany, husband John, and our two great-granddaughters, Evie and Jules. We couldn't Facetime them on the holiday because they had church commitments [John is Worship Pastor at Calvary Chapel] but Tiffany shared these pictures taken on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
What gifts were under your Christmas tree? How did you celebrate? I hope it was a blessed day from beginning to end!
