curiouswombatI know a lot of my friends are doing the December Meme - which I think of as the Decememe because it amuses me.
Yesterday's topic was Your View Today, I think - I have a view from yesterday under the cut, and a couple of other views, too. Yesterday's, oddly, is 'the view from the pew' - the others are more scenic!
Today is your favourite Christmas Film. I think the icon might give a clue to mine... Yes, my favourite Christmas film is the Muppets Christmas Carol.
So
Today is the first Sunday of Advent - so yesterday I spent some time in Church setting up the Advent Candles. It took me a while but I am fairly happy with it. I saw it as a 'view' quite a bit as, to get some idea how it looked from the congregation, I kept moving around the church, sitting in different seats, to check it looked level and so on!
And it's still slightly odd from that angle - the white blob at the base of the central candle is actually a shiny white fabric apple...
The other views are of one of those things that catch the eye. I was in Peel on Tuesday and stopped to take a quick picture of the sky over the sea simply because I liked it -
But turning the other way, towards the castle, I saw something rather fun - there were people kite surfing...
I just like the juxtapositions.
Speaking of Advent - we had a family service in church today. Wilma, the preacher who led the service, is a grandma, and it was a lovely child friendly service - including a game of hide and seek where we had children hiding behind curtains, under the piano, behind the organist, in the pulpit... I got roped in to help look for them - and it is certainly a service they will remember! (The relevance? Advent - the season when Jesus says 'Coming... ready or not!'
