The "Knights" Before Christmas

What fun traditions are! Every year my mom's family gets together for an international Christmas dinner and a book exchange. We had lots of fun with German fare (we found out this year that we are a tad German) and a lively exchange of books. A few favorites that got swapped more than once were a Zane Grey compilation, Famous Speeches, and a Jane Austen complete works. Poor Grandpa ended up with a history in pictures of Princess Di. Watch out! Someone may end up with it in the next couple of years! I thought we did pretty good... Luke has a picture book of New York from the sky and I got 101 Creative Programs for Children. My uncle wrote this book!! It is great for anyone with kids... your own, Young Men and Young Women, Scouts and more!

Enjoy these pics of all the fun...

Next year, we will have Mexican food and another book exhange. Ole!
