Welcome to my own family's Christmas Eve Tradition that I post ever year for Prose - a reading of the Christmas story from the New Testament gospel of Luke. For those who celebrate, I hope that you'll enjoy and maybe make this a part of your Christmas tradition. For those that do not celebrate, I hope you'll enjoy for a good story's sake!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and I hope you all find warmth in the season!
