12 Days of Christmas--Day 12--Christmas Anything

Today is the 12th and final day of Christmas at Angela's Favorite Things! Today's post is a modge podge of Christmas wonderfulness! I hope you've enjoyed the last 12 days! I know I have! :-)

1. Live Nativities
Growing up we used to go to these all the time as a family. The hubs and I tried to go to the one down the street from us this year, but I sadly had to work!

2. Progressive Dinners
Before we started attending Pinedale Christian Church when I was in fourth grade, we attended a tiny congregation that met in a community center on Sunday mornings, Clemmons Christian Church. Every year, we had a church wide progressive dinner that was so yummy and SO fun! I really miss doing those each year!

3. Caroling
I know I had a whole day about Christmas carols, but caroling is different! I miss going to nursing homes, neighbors, etc. and singing to them about the birth of Jesus! It's a tradition I hope to bring back in my family when I have kids!

4. Wrapping Presents
I LOVE wrapping presents! It's fun to choose wrapping paper that suits the person, to decorate the package with ribbon, bows, gift tags, and possible a bobble or two, and to see the wrapped presents under the tree! I wrapped presents last Wednesday night while watching The Santa Clause 2 with the hubs. Super fun!

5. Candlelight Service
One of my earliest memories is attending Candlelight Service at church on Christmas Eve. I love getting together with my church family on the night before we celebrate Christ's birth. The songs we sing, the short devotion we hear, the special music/dance presentations, etc. all come together to form a wonderful tradition that I look forward to each year.
