That's so funny, Heather. I can remember the first Christmas at your house. It was quite an experience. Your Dad was making everyone wait to open presents while He read the Christmas story and did what I remember as a very long devotional.
While he was talking and reading, the kids (then either grown or in H.S.) were sneaking presents from under the tree and passing them around behind their backs. It was hilarious when he finished and realized that half the gifts had already been opened.
It was as if the real tradition was not taking yourselves too seriously and your Dad was in on the joke.

I can totally see Nate leading that revolt! The Rowlands still have that tradition of saying something about the birthday girl/boy. It's always a challenge (but a good one) to think of something meaningful that we haven't said before. Of course, Judd always has to say something silly.
