Decememe - Joyous

[curiouswombat]

Well, I'm keeping up so far...

This was a joyous celebration of a joyous event -



And I have written, um... four Christmas cards tonight - well, it's a start.

I'm afraid they are charity cards rather than home-made ones, this year - I've been too busy sorting out stuff to make cards with the children at church to actually make any myself.

I do have another excuse, too - the next epic story in the Returnverse is now three chapters long and I should be able to start posting it once we get Christmas over - or possibly even before, but I think people may be too busy before Christmas to read.

I don't think there's anything more heartwarming than children (and adults!) in homemade costumes re-enacting the Nativity.

That year the costumes were mere hints of the roles - we had been going to do it with full costumes, but half the participants weren't able to get there as it snowed; so we called for volunteers!

Whee! Was just experimenting to see if I could comment (I couldn't respond to anything earlier without being logged out), and it worked! It does look like a joyous occasion.

You've written four more cards than I have...

and it worked!

Hurrah!

If I do four cards a night I might be done by... about Boxing Day.

Good choice for "Joyous"!

Of course I'm flashing back to The Very Best Christmas Pagent Ever. Might need to retread that one!

Thank you. This was a Nativity by the seat of the pants - it snowed and half the expected cast couldn't get to church - so we just filled in as we could!

*hugs* There is nothing wrong with store-bought cards. I've sent many of them over the years, even though I adore making my own. It's more important to me to communicate with friends world-wide :-)

This year it was looking more like a chore than a pleasure to make the cards - so it seemed a good idea to not do it for a year and buy charity ones instead - because I'm like you - giving and getting it the best bit.

The children are adorable!

Aren't they just?

Yay for writing! :)

I'm at about 7,000 words so far...

I thought 'just a few each evening' - but at this rate I'll be into the 12 days of Christmas!
