One of our stranger traditions involves everybody wearing a Christmas "bib" for dinner.
Elsa feasts on some celery.
After a delicious dinner we performed the nativity story. Amelia assigned everybody their parts and took her role as Mary very seriously. She insisted that her camel be the baby Jesus. She also had to have her own script to read from.
She assigned Ben to be the donkey.

Acting out the nativity is always one of my favorite parts of Christmas Eve. Followed by our chocolate fondue dessert feast. After we stuffed ourselves with chocolate, we attempted to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" but didn't make it very far before we headed to bed.
