Why not take some “time-out” from the hectic week ahead and spend time in church with Jesus, the founder of the feast and the reason for the season. PS There is no need to overspend this week: we cannot buy a Happy Christmas Ten Out of Ten for “The Entertainer”, the new toy shop in the town centre, for their Christmas window display. It features a full-size cardboard Nativity scene saying “ Pictured here in The First Nativity we remember the reason for the season – the birth of Jesus.” Well done!
