So today is Christmas’ Eve, which is the main celebration in my family, probably because my dad always had to work on Christmas when he was still a Baptist minister… My brother and I will decorate our tree soon, after putting up the tree and the nativity scene yesterday, and tonight we will light the candles for the first time and have dinner. After that we’ll sing and read the story from the Bible before opening our presents. And at 10pm we’ll go to a night service somewhere.

I just love Christmas — to me, it’s so full of love, and peace, and family, it’s one of my favorite days of the year. But now I have to go and wrap my presents! 🙂

Oh, and I almost forgot: The picture was taken at the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand.
