Light or Lamp 4

We went to Christmas eve service this evening. It was a lovely service, with wonderful music and a beautiful message. The service ends with the lighting of candles and the singing of Silent Night. It is particularly sweet when the children take part. Here's Sam taking care of mine and his after the service was over (with a little processing magic to get rid of the crowded background.)

Merry Christmas to my dear 365 friends!!

Lovely shot. When my youngest son was small he was a bit absent minded with his candle and singed the fur coat of the lady next to him!

Thank you all soooo much! We are thoroughly enjoying our visit and will be heading home tomorrow. It's hard to believe we've been here almost a week- it went by quickly! I will be getting back on track as soon as we get home.
