  • Christmas Traditions 2
    Christmas Eve Night time on Christmas Eve is a very exciting time for young children. It is the time when Santa or Father Christmas comes. The children leave mince pies and brandy for Father Christmas, and a carrot for the reindeer. Children hang their christmas stockings or bags up ready for Father Christmas, who will hopefully fill them up with presents, if the children have been good. The children then go to sleep and wait for Christmas morning to see if he has been. Why do the children in England hang up christmas stockings? Father Christmas once dropped some gold coins while coming down the chimney. The coins would have fallen through the ash grate and been lost if they hadn't landed in a stocking that had been hung out to dry. Since that time children have continued to hang out stockings in hopes of finding them filled with gifts. Carol Service Christians go to a special carol service at their church on Christmas Eve night. There are usually two carols services. The first one is for children and may be a candle lit service where the congregation hold a candle each whilst they sing Christmas songs (carols) and watch a Nativity performed by children. The second one is closer to midnight, so that people can welcome Christmas Day in and rejoice in the coming of our Lord. Christmas Day This is the favourite day for all children. They wake up very early in the morning to find their stockings have been filled by Father Christmas and excitedly unwrap the presents before going down to breakfast.

  • Come Singing Christmas Cracker!
    COME SINGING CHRISTMAS CRACKER! Dear Come Singing friends, Christmas is a-coming - the strangest one that most of us can remember. We're finding ways to make it special for everyone we love, but thinking too how best to keep them -and ourselves - safe. I do hope that each of you will find a way to make the most of this very different year, and to feel happy and loved. Some may even be glad of a break from turkey leftovers day after day and all that washing up(!) and we will be able to celebrate later, when the coast is clear... It certainly hasn't stopped people trimming up, and in fact the Christmas lights seem to have been extra brilliant and creative this year. Several roads near me have decided to be living Advent calendars, with a different house adding a window display each day, and it's been lovely to admire them as they appear! John was on a mission to cheer up his close and put up his tree early - so tall that it touches the ceiling and barely fits in the picture! His decorations don't stop there and would be worth a colour supplement all to themselves! Howard and Shelly's clever friend has knitted them a Nativity scene which people can see as they pass the window. The detail is fantastic, and I especially love the sheep! We can't easily go carol singing round the neighbourhood, but Jennie has sent a quiz to get you tuned up and in festive mood... Answers as usual at the end.

Her business partner, Jacob Marley, has died, and Scrooge has alienated herself from family and refuses to allow any festivity or happiness into her life. Scrooge’s poisonous outlook infects all those around her—her employee, Bob Cratchit, lives a life of poverty, working in fear of his employer’s sharp temper and ill mood, and attempting to maintain a positive worldview for the sake of his family, and especially his disabled son, Tiny Tim.
