A Little Christmas

Well, in my last post, I mentioned that we need a little Christmas. No, Pretty's tree still is not bought. No, the Christmas knitting is not complete (but the December socks are over halfway done). No, there are not even any gifts bought to put under the tree yet (unless College Girl has found something at the mall while shopping today..."if I buy something, can you give me back the money and call it my Christmas gift, Mom?"). Well, I guess whatever makes them happy makes me happy, so we will still call it a happy holiday season in Pretty Knitty Land!

In the absence of my own personal tree and decorations, I did participate in a family Christmas event at my church last weekend...and since we all need a little Christmas, here it is! This family Christmas came complete with Christmas cookies...

...Christmas crafts (and reindeer games, apparently!)...

...a Christmas choir, caroling...

...Christmas candy and prizes (hey, if you're gonna have reindeer games, there should definitely be prizes, right?!?)...

There were even kids in costumes! (Yes, I know that those are just antlers. I was trying to stick to the original alliteration...but I guess it may be Chrismassed out!)

Speaking of antlers, you know it's Christmastime when even the lead guitarist and keyboardist are sporting antlers of their own!

Why, we even saw Santa at the event! Look at that little cutie, trying to help the grown-ups convince his sister that Santa is safe...he's a good guy, really!

Hey! Santa! Are you eating cookies again? lol Gotta maintain that figure somehow!

We even had some photographers from Shutter Clutter there to snap family photos for the Christmas cards! Look at that teenager, doing her level best to not look thrilled. snicker

That was more than a little Christmas, and it was a great night! I am so glad that I participated, especially since I haven't gotten around to putting up my own tree. Hmmm, looking back at these photos may have inspired me...perhaps I will venture up into the attic this weekend...

In the meantime, I hope that you are enjoying the sights and sounds of your holiday season. Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
