Christmas Traditions--Messiah

Another tradition that we always do is listening to Handel's Messiah.

We all gather in the living room, and spend the evening  listen to scripture being sung.  Sometimes it takes two evenings to listen to the entire thing, but hopefully we get it all listened to before Christmas comes around.

With the toddlers and younger children it's not a case of everyone sitting still and listening.  Sometimes the youngers will play a game while the olders will wrap presents or work on Christmas gifts, the main point is that we are all there as a family and we are all enjoying the listening of the Messiah together.  :D

This year we are having to do it in "sections". I liked it when we did it all in one night. Much more time to finish presents while listening.
