Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed. Joseph Addison

Wow, speechless!

So yesterday we had our Christmas services at church, and there is only one way to describe it... WOW!!!! I sat through the morning service with my mouth literally HANGING open. The production was absolutely stunning and the worship team outdid themselves once again. Even more amazing, after lunch we went back for the evening service, SAME STORY. I was just blown away. Probably my favourite part of the whole day was that throughout all the services, all the lights and music and then the Christmas message by J John (who is a great speaker by the way, he had us in stitches!), was that the day had truly captured the real Christmas message. It was all about Jesus and people really saw that. It was a great reminder of the thing we seem to most forget at Christmas- Christ is the gift, without him, there is no Christmas. So this year, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas in the true meaning of the word, and I hope that you recieve the gift of Christmas this year, if you never have before, and if you have then be encouraged and reminded of the cradle and the cross and celebrate his birthday in style!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

But did you have camels?? Not that I'm bragging or anything you understand, but we had a donkey, 2 goats, a sheep and 2 live camels right there in our church service! (I hear that one of the camels nearly 'went' on the front row in one service too!)

There's a llama problem? That would explain the nasty smell on the Central Line at least.
