'Tis the season

You get a preview of what will be playing at our house around 7pm tomorrow night. I have to admit that it is always my favorite activity of Christmas Eve. The kids think otherwise and are dying to open presents...I keep warning them that they don't get much this year since our trip to Disney was their Christmas, they just got to open it a bit early. We will see what happens on Christmas morning when they see just what I mean.
Church today was in classic Spanish Branch style with our family getting asked to sing for Sacrament meeting during Relief Socity/Priesthood. We did "Away in Manger" and I don't know if anyone could hear us except those in the front row( nobody sits in the front row ). It was actually pretty fun to get up there with my kids and I have to say that for those few minutes I felt the Christmas spirit and in classic female fashion became to verclempt to even sing. Dan gave a great solo. The only way we got Kohl to sing was by promising him a glass of eggnog when he got home. I don't get how a kid who hates just about every food I put in front of him actually loves eggnog. I remember as a kid trying the stuff and wanting to throw it right back up.... I will never understand the taste buds of my children.

I so wish I was in the Spanish branch just to hear Dan's solo. Would have been worth it right there. But my question is...did you sing in English or Spanish?
