Dara's favorite Christmas tradition is ...Christmas on Christmas Eve. I have a small family so we all gather around the tree and enjoy Christmas the night before. It’s dark outside, hopefully snowing, and everyone is laughing as Bing sings in the background. Stockings are the best part for the big kids. It's amazing; what fantastic treasures we find!

Joel says the best present he ever received is ... It was the first Christmas we spent in the US. Dad was out of work and we were just kids. We were roughing it, sleeping on beds made out of clothes in a furniture-less house. Mum said to us, "Santa will only be able to bring gifts from the Dollar Store this year." I remember thinking, "No way, Santa's not dictated by whether or not we have money." Unbeknownst to me, a 1st grade class found out we had no money and sponsored our family for Christmas. We received more gifts that year than ever!

Luke's favorite Christmas tradition is ... Every Christmas my Dad shares a devotional with the entire family and afterwards, we usually go around the room and share what we're most thankful for. I think it's important to reflect on all that we've been given and to cherish the moments we have together. That I must say, would be my favorite Christmas tradition!
