Ah, Christmas.
As I write, my laptop is wending it’s way through my favourite carols and the desk is covered with poems and scraps of liturgy.
Once, years ago, the summer dance camp took as it’s festive theme ‘Christmas in July’. Do you suppose there was a priest on the planning committee? But it was a brilliant idea, really. All the fun, none of the stress, and the reminder that Incarnation is never out of season.
I think it might catch on! I have long maintained that Jingle Bells should be sung at Carol Services too.
Hmm. I think Jingle Bells can be sung in the car park or on the walk home. Possibly during mince pies and mulled wine if initiated by someone small enough to look sweet in a fur trimmed red hat. And always when actually dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh.
