We were on the boat for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day sailing our way back to Los 
Angeles. We were happy that it worked out that way so that we could celebrate Christmas the way we wanted to. The boat was all decked out for the holiday and they played Christmas music all the time, so it wasn't hard to feel the Christmas spirit. They offered church services and Midnight Mass as well.
We did something unusual for us on Christmas Eve--we partied! Each night on the boat we would eat dinner at 8 o'clock and then go to the late shows. On Christmas Eve there was a party planned with singing Christmas carols, having a balloon drop and dancing. It was so fun. I haven't 
danced so much in a long time. Kelsey and I both love to dance so we tried to attend all the dances, at least for a little while! After the party we opened up pj's and went to bed. Christmas morning we went to eat breakfast at one of the dining rooms instead of the buffet to help make it a little more special since we were missing our pork chop breakfast. Then we went back to our cabin and did our usual Christmas program. The one we usually do on Christmas Eve. We brought our cd's to sing hymns with and read scriptures. We opened a few gifts. We kept it small considering we slept, ate and saw brand new sites for a week on this year's gift! ha! There were some things we missed, for sure, but it was a wonderful Christmas. We brought the Forgotten Carols with us and watched that too.
We are so grateful we were able to take such a wonderful trip as a family.
