Traditional Christmas - for us

CTK has a full slate on Saturday and Sunday. a 4 pm service designed for families with small children, at which I lead the music and Brian does a very interactive message. Traditional Christmas Eve services with choir and brass at 6 and 7:30, with Alicia, ElenaClaire and myself in the choir, and Brian and I doing a dramatic piece we wrote for this service; a 10:30 service that is a little more high church and includes Holy Communion. And a 10:30 AM Worship service (which is our custom EVERY CHristmas, not just those that fall on Sundays) at which I lead worship.

Since Christmas always has that heavy work component, we have a special Christmas meal at noon on Christmas Eve - and we usually have guests for dinner, which you can't do on Christmas Day since most people are with family that day.

The menu is also very traditional (for us) - Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno appetizers, Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas and beef tamales, Salad, Cranberry/Jalapeno relish, fudge, and strong coffee.

It doesn't get any better.
