Thread Name: BS: Lovely Hallowe'en!
Subject: RE: BS: Lovely Hallowe'en!
For our Christingle here in Norfolk, all the ladies of the village who are involved sit for ages doing the oranges with cocktail sticks and sticking the little candles in. They did 150 last year, but it wasn't enough! When the candles are lit, we have to fly up and down the aisles making sure no child singes him/herself or their mates. We have a great team of bellingers, and they really let rip for the Christingle Service. Handbell ringers too, it's all-singing, all-dancing believe me!
We also have a large KNITTED Nativity model, with all the camels, sheep, angels and everything knitted by the ladies. It's really a work of art!
