Three Weeks to Christmas

This weekend was the kickoff to the Christmas season. On Saturday we went to the Finnish School's Christmas Bazaar and the Christmas Carols at the Finnish Church. The girls participated in the Lucia procession which is always the cutest part of the event, and the small church was full of our friends and "family". I love Christmas songs and singing them, and the atmosphere at the Finnish Church is casual, warm and fuzzy. In other words it's the perfect start for the Christmas season. On Sunday we decorated our tree and put up some lights in our front yard. I also had a chance to pick my Christmas present (but I can't open until Christmas morning..).
