Don't feel bad, we didn't even MAKE it to the candle lighting, we had to leave right after communion because Ben insisted on throwing his Matchbox cars in the pew in front of us and making an awful racket.Kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762382306498210529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-27569337244638247432010-12-28T16:57:14.910-06:002010-12-28T16:57:14.910-06:00Do you ever think, maybe that's much closer to...Do you ever think, maybe that's much closer to the real thing? As much as I love our tradition of candles and Silent Night, I'm just not so sure that a real God coming in real human form entering the real messiness of real life arrived on a Silent Night with no spills or howls.

I have a couple that we use so that the kids don't get hot wax on them. They are shaped kind of like a little cup and the wax never goes on the fingers. I don't know where I got mine though, you could do a google search......Pitterle Postingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944899733768126383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-70486001946421282872010-12-27T13:28:45.175-06:002010-12-27T13:28:45.175-06:00Memorable, yes :)
