Happy Christmas

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas. Here is another little video from me for the festive season:

Merry Christmas

I just want to wish all my lovely readers and companies I've worked with this year a Merry Christmas. It's been an amazing year on my blog and I've been able to review some amazing products and days out. Hopefully I'll do a blog review before the 31st but in the mean time I give you the sound of my children's Christingle service alongside some of my Advent photos:

Countdown to Christmas Day 17: Christingle

My daughter's school ended term with a Christingle service today. The church was pretty full with families joining in the celebration. Christingle services were started by the Children's Society in 1968 as a way of raising money to help children in need.


The idea is to have a candle lit service which is a bit more reflective than the nativity service and to use the Christingle to symbolise 4 components:

1. an orange - representing the world
2. a red ribbon (or tape) - indicating the blood/ love of Christ
3. a lighted candle - symbolising Jesus, the Light of the World
4. four cocktail sticks bearing dried fruit or sweets - signifying the four seasons and the fruits of the earth and God's good gifts
