What a great Christmas we had! The worst part of Christmas is when it's all over. We go into a sort of depression these few days after the holiday. Mom and Dad came over to celebrate with us! Christmas Eve at the Higbee home consists of lots of great appetizers, Mr. Kreuger's Christmas, Seeing the luminaries in Alpine, and the big Nativity production. The Food turned out great! I made crab, cheese fondu, and large array of high-fat tasty morsels. The movie was wonderful as usual. The luminaires that our town sets up in their yards were great (an Alpine tradition) and we got to see Santa on the way! The Nativity production was priceless! Have you ever seen "The Best Christmas Pagent Ever"? Well, here it was complete with a bossy angel, a crying shepard, Mary and Joseph duking it out over who gets to kiss the baby Jesus, one shepard in a trance, and at one point we even had Joseph hand-cuffing one of the shepards. It was pure pandimonium and it was wonderful. Thank goodness for video! It was one of those Christmas memories we will never forget!
Christmas morning came and we like to torture our kids a bit. No presents until a full glass of EGG NOG is consumed. We are talkin the THICK stuff! Have you ever tried to down egg nog fast? It is not an easy task and the kids sure do hate us for it! It's all good because it is really entertaining for mom and dad! The paper finally flew, the kids dreams were achieved, and the rest of the day was spent putting toys together. Like I said, we are all in a little state of depression knowing all the decorations will soon be coming down and it will be a whole year before the next big dance.
