It's beginning to feel a lot like...

Less than four weeks to Christmas!

On Sunday we went to Malvern, where SM was singing in an Advent Sundary service.



And that's really just the beginning.  In my diary I have two Christingles, one school carol service, one family carol service, Christmas Eve nativity plus, of course, Christmas Day.

And, on Saturday, I was at a local Christmas fair, raising funds for my charity, Gloucestershire Bundles.  I'm at another fair this Saturday, and on the Saturday afterwards it's my own church Christmas fair.  Then there's the carol concert at which we're invited to take donations.

The Daughter phoned up last night to arrange when she was coming down over Christmas, and we go to The Son on Christmas Day.

HoHoHo!

That's a lot of Christmas activity! I hope you enjoy it all.

It is, and it should be fun. At least I have some days free during the week.

Ah the joys of the busy Christmas schedule but at least you scored a visit to Malvern as well!

[smallhobbit]

Yes, it's inevitable, but I'm always surprised when it happens. Malvern on a grey Sunday afternoon is not the best - and we had to take the motorway due to lots of rain having happened, so the back roads wouldn't have been scenic.

That's a lot of singing! I should've put some lozenges in your Xmas envelope!

Fortunately there are days between all the carols!

I've not heard of a Christingle service. Interesting.

[smallhobbit]

I aim to do a post about Christingles in a couple of weeks' time.

Neat. :)

Advent music is so beautiful. I was digging some up on YouTube on Sunday. <3

[smallhobbit]

It is, and not often heard. We also got to sung some of my favourite Advent carols.

Wow! You have quite the busy festive season in front of you! I hope the Christingles, services and fairs all go well. Good luck with collecting donations at the carol concert at your church. I'm sure you must be looking forward to seeing your daughter, son and granddaughter over the holidays.

[smallhobbit]

Yes, that's normally the way! And thank you :) It will be good to see all the family during the holiday.
