Grinch & Christmas...

Last night was our Christmas party at Church. It was absolutely delightful.

The theme used the story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and tied it in with a live Nativity.

 Richard Risher played the Grinch and did a magnificient job. The kids play the Whos in Whoville. They came with their hair in amazing styles and fun clothes. They sang two of the songs from the movie.

The teens provided the live Nativity. Christina Holt sang 'Breath of Heaven' by Amy Grant as they began setting up the Nativity. I think that song has got to be my very favorite piece of Christmas music. The setting up of the Nativity was intersperse with the audience singing Christmas carols. I got to play the piano.

Everyone was asked to bring blankets and they sat by families on the floor. There were a few chairs around the outside for the more mature of us to sit. Everyone brought their favorite Christmas cookies and that was the refreshment.

It was a very fun evening.
