Our kids participated in our church's Children's Christmas program on Christmas Eve, as that is the day that Slovakia celebrates Christmas. They each had a part to say, and then all of the children sang together a few songs. The rest of the program was a normal Lutheran church service. In the video, it appears that the kids are outside, as if they are Christmas caroling. This is not the case, as they are actually inside the church building, dressed in their warm coats, hats and scarves. This is because our church has very little heating because it is an older, historical, cathedral-type building, and every Sunday people dress like this to attend church, while inside the building! We leave gloves and scarves intact throughout the service, and are still sitting there cold. This has definitely been something we have had to get used to!! Fortunately, the Sunday School building IS heated, and our children stay warm every Sunday while attending Sunday School, which, by the way, they enjoy because they have wonderful Sunday School teachers!
In the singing part of this video, if the kids seem a bit tired or distracted, it might be because this was their second performance in a row, or they were cold, OR just that the beautiful ceiling was a bit mesmerizing! :-)

I love it! Your kids sound so Slovak! and I think it is funny that none of the Rumbolds are wearing hats! :) Love to all!
