Christmas Past


This photo was taken many years ago when my daughters were young. They were acting out the Christmas story. Daughter #3 was Mary, Daughter #2 was a lamb, and Daughter #1 was one of the Wise Men. Our daughters used to put on a small play or puppet show every Christmas. Sometimes, when their cousins were visiting, the cast became larger.

Now that out daughters are all grown up, they no longer put together a play to entertain us, but since they did it every year when they were children I know the Christmas story is engraved on their hearts and that they will always remember that Christmas is not really about the presents we give to each other, but the gift that God gave to us.

We just watched the move "Love Actually", so I have to ask, Where's the lobster?!

Mark,

LOL! The nativity scene pictured occurred before the movie, Love Actually, was made. So there are no lobsters. Such is life. :-)
