Thanks for all the comments on the last post. Just a point of clarification (clear explanations never were my strong point) - when I said put links in blog comments, what I meant was just let me know there's something to link, and I'll link it.
Talking of which...
Sarah posted carol lyrics to a carol I'd not heard before. Very good words, and it must have been nice with Hayley Westenra singing them. Amazed she came to Swansea Grand. Sarah also pointed me in the direction of her December archive from last year, which I will probably raid for links some other time.
Thanks also to Alice - these are great words.
And I liked this story that Jenny put in her comment.
'Christmas, advent and God, eh ?
My Mum lost her address book last week. She picked the day she was planning to send Christmas cards to all her friends and relations to lose it as well. Given that she has just moved house and was planning to send the new address with the Christmas cards, this was Bad News.
Major Christmas stress ! She turned the house upside down and checked the bins all weekend, but eventually we gave up hope, at least of finding it anytime soon. I said, "Well, at least it must be in the house somewhere since you've checked the bins. Must be down the back of something." And finally got round to praying about it. It WAS down the back of something. The sofa cushions. She found it 5 minutes after putting the phone down. Our God even cares about the little straw that breaks the camel's back in this mad cultural feast.'
