This Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church Christmas Eve tradition is so much fun, our teenaged members often prefer to continue attending the service long after they've left childhood. Everyone who enters the sanctuary receives a set of jingle bells. At the end of the service, the pastor encourages the congregation to shake the jingle bells joyously, a symbolic—and cymbalic—welcome to the birth of the Christ child!
