Emmett and Annalise's school had a Christmas celebration on the Thursday before Christmas. The celebration started with a procession leading to school. Emmett and Annalise did not dress in costume as there was a communication snafu from school (which is not unusual). Father Jorge celebrated Mass at school and John took some pictures of some of the children in front of the manger scene to share with other parents.
