I am sure that you would have made a lovely Mary, but I did have a chuckle when I read the line about being "demoted to animal status!" <br /><br />Reading your comment, I took a little journey back in my mind to a scene at my primary school (also in the 1960s) where a shy and/or grumpy Mary didn't want to hold hands with a ginger haired and freckly Joseph. I remember that my favourite song then was "Squirrel Nutkin" which I suspect I insisted on singing to the class at any opportunity and at any season of the year. (I wonder if you sang the song at your primary school??)

Such pride I felt, walking on with Joseph (who didn't enjoy the teasing) Later years I was demoted to animal status, a silent Extra around the manger, still great fun though. What an innocent era that seems, looking back now.

Christmas passes so rapidly for us here, as we are very busy and often tired at this time, and it was lovely to take a few hours to write about the Christmas story.. it gave me a chance to experience it and not just let it pass by.

I went from laughing out loud at some of your descriptions (wonderfully written by the way) to big goosebumps at the end with your very realistic description of the family and the visitors to the manger.

I am so glad that you were well enough to have some Christmas Celebrations after all, it did seem rather a grim time for you all in the run up to Christmas. Glad that the cats entered into the spirit of things enough to eat left over veggies! Kind thoughts and hope health improves for you all.<br />Thanks for the hugs, much appreciated! xxPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-75141190517591986472012-12-28T10:02:33.097+13:002012-12-28T10:02:33.097+13:00Hope you both had a great Xmas ...we were well eno...Hope you both had a great Xmas ...we were well enough to enjoy the festivities but my sons family didn't make it ...so we will have a second Xmas in the New Year....the cats loved the left overs ...even the veggies!!!!Hugs xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-41484304581459246532012-12-28T08:33:07.647+13:002012-12-28T08:33:07.647+13:00Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Smartcat, it is...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Smartcat, it is good to hear from you.<br /><br />Merry Christmas Armelle,<br />Santa arrived after all!!

She was a tiny thing and I was so afraid she would forget her lines, but she performed beautifully. Luckily I knew she was to be the angel around Halloween and the local costume shop had wonderful angel costumes so I didn't have to spend hours making one!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-79776012658848897092012-12-24T13:24:38.762+13:002012-12-24T13:24:38.762+13:00sky voices are singing, happy christmas to you and...sky voices are singing, happy christmas to you and laura and to your kittens and to all.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
