It was really noon but we pretended that it was Christmas Eve. We sang carols and read of the Saviors birth from the account in Luke. Then we went around the room and each missionary shared events from their family life that told us about some of their traditions at Christmas time.
We all brought gifts. Each in turn got to open one. The next person opened another gift or he could take yours. You got to pick last if you had been on your mission the longest.
They brought me a flower garland and we had tons of food.
We enjoyed "Christmas morning too"...
And just being together.
