12/03/2005: "Christmas Carols and Holiday Ribbons"

Last night my daughter and I went to our church's annual ladies' Christmas dinner. It was really nice. We got to sing a lot of traditional Christmas carols. It will probably be the only time we get to! My daughter hadn't heard one of the well-known carols (I don't remember which one). I told her that was one of the drawbacks of contemporary churches...she never hears the old songs and hymns. That makes me kind of sad. At the dinner they had some tables set up to display Christmas crafts. One woman was making curly ribbon for the tops of packages. She was cutting strips of wrapping paper and curling it on scissors like you do curling ribbons. It was really neat! I'll have to give it a try.
