How do you celebrate holidays?
The one constant in our Christmas celebration is going to church although the times have changed for that too we used to have only one service at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve but now we have two services it will usually one at 4:00 and one at 6:00 and we could choose which one we wanted to go to. After church on Christmas Eve, we traditionally head to my grandmother’s house after a quick stop at our house to pick up the presents that we bought for our family then we would head to my mom’s mom’s house and stay there and visit with family until about 11:30 or midnight. Then on Christmas Day we would go to my other grandma’s house my dad’s mom’s house and hang out with family there this is when that side of the family was a lot closer. Now that most of our family has grown up and had their kids we have kind of spread apart and have moved on to doing our own thing. Church is still a constant on Christmas Eve although our church celebrates Christmas through music a few weeks before Christmas because many of our choir members are actually out of town before Christmas and for Christmas. So soon I will start choir rehearsals and get ready for the Christmas season at Eagle Rock Baptist Church and we will see what we do for Christmas because there have been changes in our family as well
