I was chatting to a friend on facebook with Songs of Praise in the background. She is struggling with cancer treatment but has received a lot of support from her church community and suggested that religion might not be pushed into the background this year as many more people might find comfort in the true meaning of Christmas.

I agreed and then glanced across at Peggy who was snoozing in the chair listening to the carols. The sub titles don't show up on the photo.....The Lord is Come. smile

Isn't that just lovely ?
Hope the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is still going on Christmas Eve afternoon. I love that.

I’m just off to sing carols in the rain in the Churchyard, socially distanced and masked of course. Plenty if room to space out. Not sure if I feel more spiritual though ...?. Not sure how I feel about anything really.

Just looked at the itinerary and it's Carols from King's at 5.30 on BBC2 Christmas Eve.

If the adverts or tv programs are anything to go by, even FC has taken a back seat this year, let alone spiritual or religious connotations.
I for one would love it if your friend was right though!
I'm sorry to hear of her poor health Merlotgran ?flowers

We've just frozen ourselves putting fairy lights and decorations in the churchyard in the hope of cheering people up this coming week. Then we have our carol service in there on Christmas Eve, amid the decorations.
