While I lunched with my friends, Paul filmed the "tea scene" for the Revolutionary War movie put on by Corvallis Area Homeschoolers!

Things Fall Apart
The end of my Christmas bulb candles. I loved these things, but they eventually cracked apart. I thought it was pretty though.

Memories of a Weaver Christmas
I love my husband's family. I struck gold in the "in-law" department.
George's brother, Paul, dresses like an Elf. Check out those shoes:
My nieces wore cool Christmas socks:
Kellie's
Lisa's
Most bizarre gift
"E Coli" Stuffed Toy
Christmas Dulcimer Entertainment
Out in the cold:
12:05 a.m. - "Still, Still, Still"
I sang the kids to sleep on this dear Christmas Carol. Thanks for humoring me Michael and Paul.
Here are the lovely words:
Still, still, still,
Can you hear the falling snow?
While all is still the world is sleeping
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
Can you hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'tis the eve of our Savior's birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes, let sleep surround you
Sleep, sleep, sleep 'tis the eve of our Savior's birth.
Dream, dream, dream of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream of the joyous day to come.

9:30 p.m. - "The Love We Found"
After dinner, our tradition has been to watch It's a Wonderful Life, but last year, we added The Muppet Christmas Carol. I absolutely love this film. It is funny and poignant at all the right places. This song at the end is especially touching.
"Light the Lamp not the rat!" LOL!
We watched this first . Then, we watched It's a Wonderful Life until almost midnight. Love this film too. Makes me cry everytime with its message:
"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."
