We loved having Sargon and his family with us to share in our Christmas Eve traditions.  Sargon's father, Ron had come from San Francisco, Sargon from Afghanistan and Virgil and his wife Chee were here from Dubai.  Brad's parents were here from Amman, Jordan and Marilyn was with us too. We all had a wonderful, magical, memorable evening.

Sargon was our guest reader of The Last Straw.  The story of Hoshmakaka, the grumpy camel who, in the end, found the true meaning of Christmas.  Cairo used our camels and our nativity scene to act out the story while Sargon read.

Our traditional dance party on patio took place.  We danced to the Cheeta Girls-Cheetalicious Christmas and Rockin' around the Christmas Tree by Hannah Montana.  At one point Charlie got so into the dancing that he got down and tried to spin around on his back!
