We open our gifts Christmas morning. First we have a breakfast of "whompems"--which is actually donuts made from biscut dough. My husband's family started calling them that because you whomp the can of biscuts to open them. We strect the dough to make a hole in the middle and deep fry them. (I know, not healthy but it is Christmas!) Then we top them with a carmel like sauce made with brown sugar, butter, etc. After breakfast we gather together and my husband reads the Christmas story from the Bible that he was given by his family we he went into the Air Force at age 18. The Bible has been used so much that it is falling apart. My kids (now grown, still want the story read from that Bible. Then we pray and thank God for blessing and for trials and for bringing us through those trials. We also pray for whatever is on our hearts. Then...it is time to open presents. I then start the big meal while everybody else puts toys together or gets in their "stuff". It is a fun day.Thanks for such a generouse giveaway. Have a great day.
