curiouswombatSo hello! After much nagging from husband (S to C) I have finally got my own livejournal. After listing things in interests I realise that to a large extent I am currently too busy doing Christmas to do almost anything else. Have just spent about an hour and a half with Katherine (teenage daughter) browsing Australian gift sites to send Christmas things to in-laws. Definitly the easiest way to do it - wrapping things up so that they get there safely not my strong point!
Husband finally stood over me and forced me to open livejournal after I told him something that happened in Church this morning - he thought you'd all enjoy it, but he has finally decided that my excuse that there is no use having an author and doing your own writing was not good enough.
So - visualise scene - Sunday School group currently consists of 3 over 10's and about six 4-7s, plus a creche group, all older children now having 'graduated' to Church. Then everyone over age of 7 decides that they will be away on the Sunday before Christmas, when we traditionally do a Nativity in Church - so cast all below waist height!
We are talking about costumes - Daniel, who is to be Joseph, (as he is the oldest boy in the cast at five and a half!) asks 'Do I have anything to carry?' I answer that I haven't got anything at the moment, (thinking 'possibly a lantern?'). 'Well should I have a rolled up piece of carpet then?' asks Daniel. I am puzzled into silence. (A Carpet? Perhaps in the School Nativity he has just told me about they had a piece of carpet for Mary and Joseph to sit on?) After waiting for my non-existent answer, he continues 'Because Joseph was a Carpeter wasn't he?' !!! Will you ever be able to see a Nativity Play again without wondering where Joseph's carpet is?
