I wish I had taken pictures of all the magnificent food, but we were so busy making and eating food we just didn’t have time for pictures! ;o)

Not only did we have Christmas crackers from the UK but we also had Christmas balls from China. There were little tiny toys everywhere!

   Not to mention the streamers… LOL

After dinner we had Theresa’s Flaming Bee Hive of Enniscorthy! It is an awesome flaming baked Alaska that looks like a bee hive! I took pics of it baking but not of it on fire… :o(  Hopefully someone did! It was pretty and delicious!

Then we hurried off to our candlelight service to celebrate the birth of our Savior, the reason we celebrate Christmas!!!

"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:6-7
