Let there
be light
The weather was lousy for most
of the day but mercifully it dried
up for the big light switch-on in
Hoole.
Big crowds filled Faulkner
Street and Charles Street for the
showpiece event.
Many of the shops stayed open
until late and seemed to be
doing pretty good business.
Lets hope the lights will help
to bring in lots of customers
to Hoole over the Christmas
period.

EARLY
WINTER
THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy
the small splashes of colour in the garden. Frost is so
pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the
frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or
the large flat dying heads of Sedum or Hydrangea.
I know I have mentioned this before but one of my
favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn,
started flowering in October and is heavy with scent
in milder periods throughout winter. Plant it near a
regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed
scent daily.

A-Z OF CHRISTMAS
BY THE REV ANDY GLOVER
A is for Angels
There are angels everywhere in the Christmas Story; angels had a
critical role to play in the birth of the Christ-child.
B is for Bethlehem
Historys greatest figure was born, not in a palace. mansion or a
hospital, but in a stable!
C is for Carols
Away in a Manger is the best known and best loved Christmas Carol,
according to a recent poll. With more than 7 out of 10 adults attending
a Carol service every year.
D is for Decorations
In a Nativity play recently, all the lights were to be turned off, leaving
only one light in the manger. At the appropriate moment all light went
out, even the manger light. The silence was broken when one of the
little shepherds whispered loudly Hey, you turned off Jesus!
E is for Emmanuel
The birth of Jesus shows us once and for all that God is not above us or
against us but rather among us.
F is for Families
Christmas was going to be different this year. Dad spoke to the family
about use of time, excessive spending on gifts and the need for les
arguments. He ended with, Lets make this best Christmas ever! His
little son replied But dad I dont see how we can improve on the first
Christmas!
G is for Gifts
Christmas is about giving and receiving of gifts. On average most UK
families will spend between 530 and 682 on gifts, decorations, food
and drink.
H is for Herod
Herod was the first man who hated Christmas. He was the original
Grinch. Herod represents all attempts to destroy Christmas as a festival
and to erdaicate all talk of Jesus.
I is for Innkeeper
In the Nativity play Mary and Joseph knocked on the door, the innkeeper
came to the door. Can we have a room for the night asked Joseph. The
Innkeeper replied, come in, you can have the best room in the hotel.
There was a pause. But Joseph was a quick thinker, he looked over the
innkeepers shoulder, turned to Mary and said, We not staying a dump
like that, Come on Mary well sleep in the stable!
J is for Joseph
Joseph is definitely the forgotten hero of the nativity story. Joseph
stood faithfully by Mary and was a father to Jesus as the boy grew
up. In our time, when absent fathers has become epidemic Josephs
example is a powerful one.
K is for Kings
The top three things overheard on the Wise Mens Journey to
Bethlehem
3. You guys ever eat camel meat I hear it tastes like chicken
2. Man, Im starting to get a rush from this frankincense!
1. All this staring at a star while riding a camel is making me woozy
Im going to be sick!!
L is for Love
It is the season in which we are reminded of the importance of loving
others, of giving rather than receiving. For God so loved the world that
he gave his only son.
M is for Mary
At a Nativity Play all was going well until the angel appeared and told
the girl playing Mary she was going to be have a baby. But how can this
be said Mary since I am a Viking!
N is for Nativity
Christian art has made the nativity scene gloriously hygienic. But the
truth is, the stable or cave where Jesus was born would have been
smelly, dirty and untidy.
O is for Origins
Have you ever thought why have a Christmas tree? Who pulled the first
Cracker? Who sent the first Christmas card? Why do we call it Boxing
Day? Was Jesus really born on December 25th?
40 Tel 01244350398
P is for Peace
Who can forget in the First World
War, when British and German
soldiers laid down their weapons
came into No Mans land and
played a game of football on
Christmas Day? The first
Christmas Day was greeted with
the angels declaring peace
on earth
Andy Glover has lived in Hoole
Q is for Queues
It was the week before
with his wife Sue for 27 years.
Christmas; in one long
Andy began at Hoole Baptist
queue to a check out till,
one man was heard to
Church, on Westminster
say, they should kill
Road, as Youth Pastor, before
the guy who started
Christmas. A lady, further
becoming the Pastor and
back in the line replied, They
now Team Leader.
did they hung him on a
cross!
R is for Revelling
The birth of a child is an occasion for great rejoicing Jesus birth was
no different. Today, however, the rejoicing, is less associated with this
birth, it is motivated by the joy of having days off work and the excess
of food and drink.
S is for Santa
A little girl climbed onto Santas lap, Santa asked the usual questions,
And what would you like for Christmas? The child started at him open
mouthed and horrified for a minute then gasped, Didnt you get my
email?
T is for Thanksgiving
Christmas is a time when we should excel in the gratitude attitude.
Thanksgiving is therefore as much a part of Christmas as anything
else.
U is for Unselfishness
This Christmas, why not live simply, so that others may simply live. Its
Christmas every time you let God love others through you, every time
you smile at your neighbour and offer him your hand.
V is for Visiting
Christmas is a time when we visit family and friends and when we
ourselves receive visitors. The startling truth about Christmas is that
God in Christ chose to make an extraordinarily journey from heaven to
earth to visit us.
W is for Wonder
Was there a moment, known only to God, when all the stars held their
breath, when the galaxies paused in their dance for a fraction of a
second, and the Word, who had called it all into being, went with all His
love into the womb of a young girl?
X is for Xmas
You could say we have taken the Christ out of Christmas, if you do this
all you are left with is M & S!!
Y is Yule
This was a mid winter festival which included the burning of a Yule log.
It is associated with the longest day and looks forward to the coming
of spring.
Z is for Zonked Out
The festivities of Christmas end with the sigh of contentment and the
sound of snoring as granddad falls asleep after his Christmas lunch.
May I take this opportunity in saying I hope you have a
wonderful Christmas and close with this Celtic Christmas
blessing: The light of the Christmas star to you. The warmth of
home and hearth to you. The cheer and good will of friends to
you. The hope of a childlike heart to you. The joy of a thousand
angels to you. The love of the Son and Gods peace to you.
Amen
