My extended family always has its Christmas gathering on Christmas Eve Eve. Our party is like any typical giant-family celebration with a lot of dust and chaos. I look forward to it. During dinner each family tends to group themselves together. I like to move around and sit myself in the middle of other families, just to mix things up a bit.
Instead of the typical Santa Clause jingle jangle, we got in touch with our Dutch traditions with a visit from Sinterklaas. JW was extremely curious of the jolly ol' saint, but he would not step within arms reach. That would just be too big a risk of being swooped up onto his lap.

The Nativity demonstration came courtesy of the great grand kids. It was surprisingly organized considering the number of angels and shepherds under age 6. It was narrated by Uncle 'Rad, who announced his engagement to his beautiful friend Wendy. He had a little spring in his step all night.
