This Sunday was the Sunday School Christmas Pageant. For me this is really the start of Christmas. I love the home made set, the little shepherds clothed in bathrobes and tea towels, and of course the singing. The girls class recited a poem. Both Caroline and Sarah did beautifully, not a hint of stage fright. They've come a long way since the first year when they were 3 year old angels who were too scared to go on stage and ended up sitting it out on Mummy's lap.
For the second year in a row our intrepid Sunday School leader, Debbie has had to work around Hydro One's diabolically scheduled power outages. Bitter cold, snowfall, no electricity? No problem, it's times like these when the Village pulls together. The local electrical contractor supplied a portable generator so we were all cozy and warm. Villagers filled the church hall that morning to standing room-only capacity. This in spite of the fact that the majority of them woke up to a cold house with no running water (remember we're all on wells whose pumps need electricity to work). Still they all came. The children sang like the little angels they are, everyone stayed afterwards for a hearty potluck lunch, and the church ladies, as always ensured everything ran smoothly.
Merry Christmas.

They're so precious!
Abigail's violin concert was canceled last night due to the snow and icy roads.
