We had a nice quiet Christmas this year. Christmas Eve we had our traditional Polish meal. Kielbasa,Perogis etc and then headed to the Congregational Church in town for their Candlelight service. We had never been to a Christmas Eve service as our church normally has their Christmas service the Sunday before Christmas. The Congregational church is 206 years old and has so much traditional New England character. We know the Pastor of the church and he read the kids a neat story during the service. The kids thought that holding the candles was pretty cool, John and I were just trying to make sure that they didn't light anything/anybody on fire (ha,ha,ha). I was disappointed that I was on my 2nd week of Laryngitis and couldn't really sing any Christmas Carols.....At any rate it was a neat service where we were able to worship with people from town and remember the true reason for the season, Jesus Christ. The kids slept till 7AM Christmas morning!!!! It was great! We opened gifts had a big breakfast and spent most of the day in our PJ's- it was so relaxing. One of the best gifts I received was not having to go into work Christmas night as the census on our Unit was really low- Thank you Cardiac Patients! We watched the movie "Elf" Christmas Evening and laughed hysterically- it is such a funny movie! All in all, it was another wonderful Christmas.

Ooh, perogis! Awesome. How wonderful to go to the candlelight service. I've always thought that would be fun. In so many other cultures around the world that is really the center of their celebrations. Seems fitting. Sounds like a great holiday.
