We decorated the tree after reading Mr. Willoby’s Christmas Tree.

We opened our new nativity set.

After reading about Saint Nicholas leaving money in the shoes of some young women who needed a dowry to get married, the kids went to take a peek into their stockings and found some chocolate coins I had hidden in there.

Elliot took his turn reading a book to us.

The kids have enjoyed admiring the tree with it’s ever increasing number of unwrapped books underneath.
