When I was growing up the only Christmas tradition we had was the reading of "The Night Before Christmas". My Dad and I would curl up on the couch and he would read it to me and my mother would snap a picture. Well, I have kept the book (in storage) in the hopes in reading it to my children one day. So the time has come for to pass along this tradition but the book was MISSING! Josh and I literally tore our house apart looking for the book and it was nowhere to be found. I called my parents and had them look through their boxes of stuff and still no luck. I was heartbroken. Then, Josh suggested looking in one more place...he had created a small storage nook in the rafters of the garage. Josh got out his ladder and climbed up! Digging through mostly junk he came across one box stuck in the corner and inside was...THE BOOK! Josh saved Christmas. My Dad and Darla (AKA: Grandpa and Nana) visited us on Christmas Eve eve and read "The Book" to the boys and of course we snapped some pics. Then Christmas Eve I read "The Book" and carried on a sweet tradition onto another generation.
Check out some of the night before Christmas pics below!
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
