Reflecting On Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve 2011

Something magical happened this Christmas Eve – well that too but what I’m talking about is I remembered to bring my camera to church. What’s that you say? Camera at church? Why would you do such a thing? Well our church, Church of the Holy Spirit in Lebanon, NJ still holds candlelight services on Christmas Eve with REAL candles. After the service is over its common for people to take out their point and shoots or phone cameras and snap some pictures like what you see above.

There are some additional photos available here.

I’m *real* close to finishing up my Project 365! Tomorrow is the last day! It will most likely feature some photos of an event I’m going to this evening.

Merry Christmas

Dec25Even though the date on the calendar for Christmas is the same, it always arrives faster than you think. Unfortunately this is only true for those that are not young!

I would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

All is relatively quiet this Christmas Eve 2011. I ran some errands this morning. The roads and stores were busier than usual which is to be expected. A quiet dinner is planned then off to usher at church.

May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, the gladness of hope and warmth of family and friends.

Christmas Pageant Photo Books Available

I created a photo album for each cast (red and green) with the best photo from the shows. A preview of each book is included below.

Christmas Windows Stencils

I have a memory of doing these when I was a child. I wanted to start doing them again when my kids were little but couldn’t find good stencil nor the “stuff” to make it happen. The stuff turns out to be Glass Wax. I finally found some a few years back (actually I think my mom did). My wife purchased some new stencils from the dollar store recently so off I went. Good “clean” fun (pun intended since Glass Wax, when you wipe it off, actually cleans and shines the glass Smile )
