Every year All Saints' Church sends Mary and Joseph (the knitted versions) on a long journey from house to house. This is a Latin American custom that has become quite popular in our part of Milton Keynes. It's supposed to be an Advent activity aimed at helping us to welcome God into our homes. Today Toks and Wemi brought the happy couple round to us. We had some prayers to say as we welcomed them. Tomorrow we'll be handing them on to someone else at church....Also today: the Music Centre Christmas concerts at Oxley Park (from 8:30am - 1:00pm) - great show, particularly the Advanced Flutes.
Nanny and Grandad come round this afternoon for a cup of tea, before going back to Nottingham...
