"What Does God Want For Christmas?"

I had a great helper getting the props made for the 2010 Christmas Program. 

The final practice on Saturday went "okay", but I knew the night of the program everything would go smoothly.  IT DID!!  The boys and girls did a fantastic job.  The message of the program came through loud and clear.  God wants each of us to give our lives to HIM.  The characters of the Christmas story came out from the boxes  as the story was again told. 





My camera was not cooperating, but I did get a picture of  two of my little bellringers for the age old song "Christmas Bells" sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.  After the program was done, the fun began.  Everyone brings cards and gifts to pass out to everyone, guests and visitors included.  The young people do this and we came home with cookies, fudge, cheese curds, mini pies, peanut brittle, Christmas ornaments,a crocheted rug made from plastic bags (hee, hee, perfect for the garden  mud), etc., etc., etc.  People sit around and visit (as the kids run wild - eek!) and have a wonderful time together.  Everyone looks forward to this every year.
