Annual Christmas Party at Grandma Knight's

Every year that I've been a member of the High family (and way before that) we have a family Christmas party at Kimball's grandma's house. Grandma Knights always hosts a dinner- a special Christmas DINNER at festively decorated tables. Then we do a Christmas program and read the story of the Savior's birth and sing all of the Christmas hymns. Grandma has little costumes that we wear and we re-create the NATIVITY. ( I was playing the piano- hence no pictures of the nativity). Then, if everyone is behaving themselves, SANTA makes a visit and calls each of us up by name to give as a gift. He said that we were all good this year! When it was Andrew's turn, we tried to set him on Santa's lap, and it was as if we were dipping him in boiling water. He was fine, and then as soon as he started to descend onto the lap it was a fire alarm scream! We all laughed really hard and did it several times because as soon as he was off of Santa's lap- he was perfectly happy. After Sants, we get out the REINDEER antelers and just have a great time. Grandma Knight's gave each family a very special gift this year. It is a book, "The Night Before Christmas" that has her recorded voice reading us the story. That is a treasure and we read it this year on Christmas Eve, and that will now be a tradition. We love our Holiday family gathering, the beautiful and unique candle tree, the songs, and all the laughter.
