This Christmas was a pretty quiet one. Since I went on vacation with my family for Thanksgiving, I stayed in Virginia for Christmas.It was a very quiet Christmas and I missed being home, but it was still nice and we had fun. My brother in law's family lives out here so we spent Christmas Eve night and Christmas night with them. Being with his family was much quieter than I am used to at Christmas so it was very different for me. Since we were just with them in the evenings, we were able to spend the rest of the time doing Bryner Christmas traditions. We had the traditional Bryner Christmas meal for lunch on Christmas Eve, then we acted out the Nativity(it was a pretty reverent rendition this year), and opened up the traditional Christmas Eve ornament for the Christmas tree. I was feeling just a little bit sad that I wasn't going to be able to go home for Christmas, so being able to do family traditions here helped make Christmas better for me.
Santa brought my niece a bike this year. She was SOOO excited when she saw it.
I hope you all had a great Christmas!
