Not For Assignment (took it a week to early)

Every year I take pictures of Morgan in some Christmas pose to use as Christmas Greetings.

There's very little that's original about this tradition, but at the church me and my wife attend, every year comes with the Christmas pageant, as well as singing to accompany it. One song that is sung every year is Silent Night, and our congregation is particularly lucky to have a woman from Germany who teaches this song to our young ones the original German version. It seems so much more beautiful even not understanding the words. And the girls do seem to enjoy trying to outdo one another at it...and why is it that there seems to be nothing purer than children singing these types of songs?

Everyone goes and looks at lights all around the neighborhood during the holidays. This is Dickinson Park in Orange City, Fl. We do what we can to make Christmas feel like a typical Christmas even though we are generally dealing with 80 degree weather still. LOL. First submission ever here! Hope you like it!
