rdhphotography.cb.uk land' dark green The family is dreading the usual Christmas Day scene
If only it started no earlier than the nativity feast With midnight mass, incense and candles, the sonorous chant of the priest
When I carry my burden and homage to the crib of the Prince ofPeace
And I play my part in a tableau I believe will never cease There lies a babe in a manger, willing to die for me Did ever even a mother love so tenderly
And as I gaze there childlike, though laden down with years I remember my lost relations and I blink away the tears And there i f but for a moment lost in the grip of hope 1 pray we will meet again in some far kaleidoscope And the men who call me foolish for them I have no care For in my hands I hold hope, while they offer only despair
Then buoyed with His grace and favour I can’t wait to get home
Knowing whoever waits there I am never really alone So I pass on His peace and blessings and I dine and drink my fill
And I gaze around my fable and give thanks that it is His will To give me a loving family and friends worth their weight ingold

gift shopping, having previ ously studied the catalogue to discover what might be suit able and affordable to give to whom. As I write in the middle of
November the town Christ mas tree and the crib are being prepared ready for Advent. “Advent” means “coming” ■
or “arrival” and has a double focus on past and future. We prepare to celebrate the
arrival of Jesus sent by God to be our Saviour, and the fact
that his arrival changed the whole course of the history of the world. We also prepare for his coming for a second time as was promised to the disci ples on Ascension Day. It was this promise that inspired the early church to keep going in good days and bad by prepar ing themselves for his return. As we get ready to celebrate
the arrival of Jesus that first Christmas Day, let us prepare ourselves for the day when he . will come again.
Can you imagine what it
would be like on December 25th if preparations had not been made? Perhaps we do go overboard to the extent that we risk neglecting what we are celebrating. It is so easy to do this. But
let us not neglect to prepare for what lies ahead when Jesus comes again. Will I be ready to greet him? Only if I put Jesus in the centre of my celebra
tions. Canon JlmDuxbury

The procession was formed and, as usual, aroused considerable interest though like last year the procession was shorn of much military display by the absence on more serious business of the majority of Territorials. A number of the returned warriors, however, were a suitable reminder of the conflict of nations. The vicar said*Letthem never forgetthe great stream of self sacrifice thatflows throughthecountry”.
