Skopnik Family News

We celebrated a family Christmas - all the kids home thus the new picture on the page.  We celebrated the season with a number of traditions and events.  As a family we sing songs Christmas eve with a Christmas reading, and then a fondu of cheese and breads of various kinds.  We have a prayer time and then open one gift.

Christmas morning, well the traditions go on.  We read the Christmas story after everyone is up that is and after we have a hardy brunch of fresh cinnamon rolls that Sharon baked a couple of days before.  Then we open gifts.  Dad did something special for his children - he gave out journals with a one year Bible Reading plan of which 4 family members will be joining dad in reading the Bible in a year or so.

Then it's a day of games and fun with the Christmas meal - yum!  Then we open stockings - wow, its like a party all day, singing a happy birthday to the saviour of all mankind.  Then after all the games and fun, well then its a chocolate fondu in the evening.

You can celebrate Christmas without family traditions, well at least in our home.
