We cellebrated King's Day this year with a Christmas story book reading. Book readings are something we really like to do, inviting a few friends over to read something together. We haven't managed one recently as having young children doesn't make extensive reading any easier. But we also like to celebrate the day when traditionally the wise men made their visit to Jesus' manger-crib.

The night before, the boys filled their boots with straw and left water out for the wise men's camels.

In the morning they were miracu-lously emptied, and replaced with presents. After dinner we invited a few friends over for dessert and asked them to bring with them a favorite Christmas story. Deborah is a Christmas fanatic and collects Christmas stories. We had a great time together and several people read stories, while others just told about favorite Christmas memories.

We're always reluctant to see the season go, so we hold onto it for as long as possible.
