Third Sunday in Advent. Fantastic. We love Advent - the looking forward, the longing, the wistfulness. We've even lit the special silver candle. And so today our programme's looking like this:
8am - Candles and Mince Pies round the Manger
9am - Bucks Fizz and Mince Pie breakfast
10am - A Tinsel Extravaganza
11am - Carol Service (Modern Style)
12 noon - Carol Service (Traditional Style)
1pm - Carol Service (Gangnam Style)
2pm - Reindeer Derby! Put your shirt on Blitzen, have a monkey on Cupid - or will Rudolph win by a nose?
3pm - Children's Nativity
4pm - Grown-up's Nativity (as inept as the Children's one but without the "aaah" factor)
5pm - Mod Xmas Service - Vespers with the Vergers on Vespas
6pm - Turkey and Tinsel Tea with Mince Pies to follow
7pm - Hnaef's Ukulele Night - "The Sound of Music from Scratch" - bring your own ukulele
8pm - Carols by Candelight around the tree. Bring your own candle.
9pm - Charlii's Sleigh-Ride - bring your own sleigh. And snow.
10pm - Screening of the Wizard of Oz. Bring your own advocaat.
As I say, I love Advent. But it's all about waiting. Thank goodness we Beaker Folk get to celebrate the Solstice on Friday - we couldn't take the suspense of hanging on till Christmas for the fast to be over.
Lol.
