This is a tradition from when I was little. I remember Dad being so frustrated when we would be silly during the nativity story. I guess we have come full circle.
During the afternoon everybody was trying to find things to do to make the day go by. I heard I'm bored more times than usual in a day.
Santa comes to our ward Christmas party every year. This Santa was trying to convince the girls they should ask for a hammer and the boys to ask for a pocket knife. Hence the look on their faces.
