So every year since I can remember on Christmas Eve we have acted out the Christmas story as we read it from Luke. This year my mom rewrote our Christmas pageant and searched out costumes for everyone and gave everyone a part. There was musical numbers and a great acting effort made by all.
I'm glad every year to take the time to read this miraculous story and remember why we celebrate. Thanks mom for a great screenplay. Hopefully as the years go by we will only add more wise men, shepherds and angels to our cast. I love traditions.
Mary and Joseph: played by Andy and Saramarie
Angels: played by Livi, Jenny, Melanie and Breya 
Shepherd: played by Gage
Elizabeth: played by Mimi
Duet: Stars Were Gleaming, Livi and Mimi
Wise Men: played by Dax and tired Van
Narrator/Wise Man/Zacharias: played by Poppy
Angel Gabriel: played by Phillip
Camera Crew/Shepherd: Gager
After some more Christmas songs, a reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas, and some yummy eggrolls and sweet and sour chicken, we were off to bed so Santa could come. 
Or at least some of us were, we of course had to make an emergency trip to the 24 hour Emergency Animal Care Center with an anemic cat who kept passing out and pooping on the floor. Fantastic. Three hours and $500 later we got ourselves a cat for Christmas. This is one gift I did NOT ask for from the jolly guy. Whattya do? Merry Christmas!

Looks like a wonderful night. I am sure your mom was so happy and proud to have all her kids and grandkids home for the holidays. I love traditions, and I think this is the best way to celebrate Christmas Eve.
P.S Dax looks thrilled to be dressed up in costume.
Yeah, Dax always loves a good reason to put on a graduation gown and burger king crown!
You sure use the term "wise man" loosely! Sweet outfit Dax. At least you didn't have to don the Burger King crown. Oh wait, you did!
Love,
Jeffrey
