Under the Tree

One of the boy's favorite traditions is sleeping under the Christmas tree. Really, it is in the same room as the tree; we needed to clarify that for Enoch who was determined to sleep right under the tree. Greg and I can't get as excited as the boys, but it is still a good time. Actually, it is usually just Greg sleeping there with the boys until about midnight when we wakes up sore and stiff and comes to bed. I don't even attempt it, but I do stay for Christmas stories and until the boys fall asleep. This year we read a new book (thanks, Sister Laurence) called A Snowman Named Just Bob. It was a very cute book and we all enjoyed it. Every night in December we read a Christmas book as a bedtime story. The boys love this tradition and we are getting quite a collection of great holiday books. The books always seem extra special when we read them under the tree with the glow of Christmas lights.
