| I'm not sure why this is rotated wrong but oh well. This is part of our tradition, which is to read from Luke 2. If you don't know what's in Luke 2, go get your Bible and read about it. |

It was a nice, quiet Christmas in the Holbrook house. It was just the three of us, so we were able to just relax and do much of nothing but enjoy each other. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then read the Christmas story from Luke 2. After we opened stockings and presents, Mommy made lunch of enchiladas, rice and beans. Mommy attempted to make a jelly roll, but it didn't turn out too well. So it became a jelly cake instead. Such an enjoyable day celebrating the birth of our Savior.
