MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Our church performed their annual Christmas program last weekend. Our stage became Whoville and all of the members of the choir were instructed to dress "Whovillian". Our junior choir could go all out and dress like Cindy Lou Who and they really did. We had a few "Cat in the Hat's" mixed in.
My sister, daughter and I worked on costumes for my granddaughters. One was a gingerbread cookie and the other Christmas candy. We used red and green felt to make the circular skirts, glued candy and cookie cutouts. We made suspenders and decorated them too.
I wore a Christmas green dress, pink striped leggings and a red sweater with pink polka dots. I wore a big red felt handmade flower in my hair. I bought a red sweater at the goodwill and used fabric paint and painted pink polka dots all over it.
My daughter did a wonderful job on my granddaughters hair it looked fabulous!!
All of the children came in marching down the isles carring large staffs decorated with beautiful decorations and netting.
Our stage was constructed with wooden stairs colored red and green with wooden trees and packages. The grand piano was covered with red velvet.
Our church was decorated beautifully in reds and greens and had a touch of wimsey but our message was "Christs Birth"

Hoping everyone has the merriest Christmas of all.

Hi, I popped over from Pink Saturday - what cute costumes and what a lovely time for you all. :) I also thoroughly enjoyed reading some of your other posts - and am saving the sweet ideas for both the pre-Christmas garland for grandkids, and the lovely memory tree - what a great way to work through family grief during the holidays. Thank you for sharing all of this. :) I'll be following :)

Hi Ann, I just read your comment. I bought the plates bit by bit. first from Ebay then I found them in Ross or TJ Maxx. I can't remember which. I now have 14. Thank you for your sweet comment. Yes, we had a lovely Christmas today. We thought about seeing a movie but didn't. I'm glad you had a great Christmas too.
Hugs, Jeanne
