Ten days and counting……..
We’re getting there slow but sure!
All my work with the school children is completed, all the talks I have been booked for have been given, and now it’s time to concentrate on the Church events.
All the Carols are now chosen for the Sunday Morning Service on the 20th, the Lessons & Carols on the evening of the 20th, and the Nativity Play and the Christingle Services on the 24th, midnight Eucharist on the 24th and Christmas Day Communion on the 25th.
Words have been cross checked with the Bethlehem Carol Sheets which the congregation sing from over the Christmas period, and matching music has been chosen from arrangements in Carols for Choirs.
Incidental music has been selected for between the scenes for the Nativity Play and now all that remains are final rehearsals for the choir on Thursday evening for the Lessons and Carols, and final rehearsals for the Nativity Play on Sunday morning after the morning service.
As we move forward towards the season of Christmas it is quite surprising to see how many houses are already festooned like Blackpool illuminations. Many of these houses will have their lights and decorations removed by Boxing Day which is a great pity, because if they really knew the Christmas Story they would know that the Christmas seasons continues until Twelfth Night (January 6th) when the Wise Men arrived, bearing their gifts. This is traditionally the time to remove the Christmas Decorations. I wonder how many houses (and shops!) will keep them up until then?
