Christmas Eve Traditions

	Ahh... the Ufolla family Christmas Eve tradition, new jammies.
	Every year before leaving for service we open one gift on Christmas eve, always our new Christmas jammies.
	This year ECF did not hold Christmas service. We were challenged to do Christmas differently. Specifically, we were challenged to go out and be a part of the larger household of faith. I wasn't sure how to do it, no I didn't want to do it! Bob knew how and he didn't even realize he was doing it or was supposed to. Allow me to explain...
	While shopping for our jammies Bob suggested including Rochelle in our family tradition ...
	He Enjoyed picking out just the right shirt for our wise pastor. It's an inside joke I will share only upon request.
	It's official she's now a fully integrated part of the Ufolla clan. She has completed the Christmas Eve rite of passage and received her goofy jammies to prove it (she bears the mark of Hello Kitty along with Kaitlin and myself).
	The boys sport their new jammie shirts. Hello Kitty just didn't seem appropriate so...
	Game on, Wii jammies for the boys.
	Rochelle sports her new mop slippers and ponders the experience. A few days later... Bob and Rochelle were discussing the jammies and Bob made a statement about the shirt he got for "HIS" pastor!!

Hmm "HIS" pastor!

Yup, Christmas Eve this year was different and made a mark on more than those who gathered together in the different church buildings for services. God used my husband to show me how to be a part of the larger household of faith. It's as simple as including someone into to your Family. You know God can and will use anyone to teach us. In the process I believe He's doing more than just teaching me, why else would Bob claim anyone as "HIS" pastor?
