I am very blessed to be in a great choir . . .we have about twenty. I played my hammered dulcimer, Lo How A Rose Ere Blooming, accompanied by a harpist. It was my lullaby to the infant Jesus . . .we sang our hearts out throughout the Christmas season, it was lovely.
OK! I'm going to close out Christmas 2015 with some pics of my Grand Kids Nativity, made by Fisher-Price, I took before I took it down. Now! I have a more formal display but this one is for Kids .. Old Kids too Jesus, Mary, Joseph & The Gang View attachment 4038 Angel giving "Tidings of Great Joy" to the Shepherds View attachment 4039 more next page!
The Inn where there was No Room View attachment 4040 ... and, of course, what would Christmas be without Santa, Elves and Rudolph ... OH.. and a Unicorn!? ... and Christmas Tree View attachment 4042 Fisher-Price makes several "Sets" with all kinds of characters. If you look closely at my "Set" you will find Robin Hood, Maid Marion, Mr & Mrs Noah, Aladdin and Jasmine. Sooo... all you purists who are holding out till Candlemas ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Denis that is the best! Jesus doesn't want to be left on a shelf, he wants to be with the children--said so himself. We dont play with ours because it is old and brittle and except for Eli (in the photo), we are too. (I go way past Candlemas, I leave mine up all year, cant seem to bring myself to put them in the box). Peace and Gods blessings to you, pcj
