Merry Christmas.

Well, one very excited, but very well-behaved, little boy is in bed, as is one curly-haired angel.

It was the church Christingle/nativity play this evening – Ruth was a tiny angel, and to make sure that she really did stand in the right place at the right time, I was a big angel. It hadn’t seemed too intimidating to dress up in a white surplice decorated with bits of tinsel in front of the regular congregation – I’d kind of forgotten that Christmas is a time when lots of people turn up at church. So yes, it was a trifle odd to be all dressed up in front of one of my former line managers… But hey – John was a shepherd!! (The other shepherds needed a little shepherding.) I’m just cross with myself for not getting someone to take our picture – 2 shepherds and 2 angels would have made an excellent Christmas picture for next year…

So it’s just time for me to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

And as last year, I’ll be lighting a candle here, and thinking of all those for whom Christmas brings more pain than joy.
