Later in the afternoon, I went out to my brother's church to watch their Christmas production. One of my nieces was in the children's choir, pictured below:
After church this morning, I went to my parents' place for Sunday dinner. While there, one of my sisters dug out the old karaoke machine to use at the Christmas party for the youth group at her church. Of course she and one of my other sisters had to try it out, to make sure it still worked. They put on the Christmas karaoke CD and sang a couple of songs, and then Baby, It's Cold Outside came on. Immediately my sister called me over to join them: "Let's stick it to The Man!" Later in the afternoon, I went out to my brother's church to watch their Christmas production. One of my nieces was in the children's choir, pictured below: The play was really good, alternately funny and heartwarming, with a great message. The picture below is from the beginning of the play, when the protagonist is yelling at the "hooligan" carollers to get off his lawn: Later I went over to my sister's place and helped her set up her tree. She's got one with a really nice shape. The tree skirt is one I sewed for her a few years ago: After this, some more of the family showed up and we ended up watching the Little House On The Prairie episode A Christmas They Never Forgot. This wouldn't have been my first choice, but a couple of the other girls always insist on watching it during Christmas season. In this episode, everybody comes to the Ingalls' homestead for dinner on Christmas eve, a severe snowstorm starts and so they all have to spend the night. After the kids go to bed, the adults sit at the table telling stories of Christmases past. One of these stories uses a clip from the pilot episode of the show- when Mr. Edwards met Santa Claus, but the rest were filmed new for this episode and include stories from Caroline, Almonzo, and Hester Sue about childhood Christmases. The only one of these to actually be found in the book is the one about Mr. Edwards, which is in Little House On The Prairie, but the snow reaching the level of the upstaits window as it does in this show occurred in a chapter in The Long Winter.
