Since joining Great Hills in 2003, we have always attended the Christmas Eve candlelight service. It is a beautiful ceremony that really puts the focus of Christmas on Christ.
At the end of the service, one candle is used to pass on "the light" and light the candles of everyone in attendance. Once all of the candles are lit (I'd guess 1000 people!) everyone sings Silent Night. It is moving!
My Mom joined us for service this year and then spent the night to join us Christmas morning for the fun!After church, we came home to a wonderful dinner- a roast that had cooked all day, salad, rolls, and homemade peach cobbler with ice cream. Before heading to bed, we opened our standard Christmas eve gift of new pajamas and played games. It was a wonderful night.
