Christmas Traditions

We have two Christmas traditions that we look forward to every year - our friends Christmas party and seeing the Behold the Lamb of God concert. We've been doing both about 10 years now and they are some of my favorite Christmas activities. Our friends Christmas party started when we were all in a small group together and even though that small group ended we all stayed friends and always spend 4th of July together and have a Christmas party. These are some really great friends and I'm so happy that even as our lives have all changed a lot we still make the effort to continue this tradition. Here are the pictures from this year's party:


Our other favorite Christmas tradition is seeing the Behold the Lamb of God concert. We were first introduced to this concert at our church and our church hosted it for 8 years until it got too big for our church. This year unfortunately the concert didn't come to NC, so we decided to go to Richmond, VA so we could keep this tradition. It was going to be a short trip and it was frigidly cold, but we stayed in a great hotel and the venue for the concert was beautiful! The only downside was that when we left our hotel to walk to the venue we somehow started walking the wrong direction and didn't realize it for about 15 minutes, so by then we were rushing to get there and were slightly late. Thankfully we didn't miss too much and had seats at the end of a row so we didn't have to climb over anyone. Other than that it was a great trip and I'd love to go back and see more of Richmond sometime. Here are our pictures from that quick trip and Christmas tradition:
