Christmas Dinner

St. Paul's has an annual congregational Christmas Dinner the Sunday evening before Christmas. It is one of my favorite Christmas celebrations. We have a potluck supper-Yummo! and then head to the church to sing carols. Mrs. Free plays the piano, anyone can request a carol so we usually sing 15-20, and the final carol is Silent Night before which we all gather up around the Christmas tree in the front of church and the lights are all turned off except the tree lights. It is a simple and wonderful evening that doesn't involve any sort of prepared service or formality but just Christian fellowship and heartfelt praise. Hopefully you have a Christmas celebration that means just as much to you. :)
