Pardoning any irreverance, we chuckled at the local versions of Christmas songs Peter and Anna unknowingly invented:

"Oh, tiny bum..." (Peter singing to "O Tannenbaum" with Mannheim Steamroller. He laughed his head off when we told him what the words really were.)

"Glory to God in the haunted house" (Anna, after church, where we had sung, "Angels We Have Heard on High")

(After coming back from the mall with packages in her hands) "I just love this 'shopdrenalin!' "  --Sarah
