The timing of Theme Thursday could not have been better as my midwest area got pounded by snow over Tuesday and Wednesday. School was even canceled here yesterday. I do not teach if the schools are closed, so I got a snow day too, and used it to plan Christmas Eve worship. It will be a lovely event with lots of layers. There will be a nativity for the children to ask questions, lots of carols and some special music. We hope to have a sign language component and puppets. We meet in an elementary school gym, so it is already a non-traditional setting for this holiday. It should be meaningful.
Here is one of my favorite carols, done by an outstanding Norwegian voice, with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It came to my mind immediately because of the line, "snow on snow". Listen more than watch, the video cuts in and out. Enjoy your weather, whatever it is.
We had a storm and snow day yesterday, too! Our slider doesn't look like that. Yet. Give us time, though. :)
ReplyDeletegreat vid...sounds like you made the most of your snow day...hope worship goes well. we have a huge service on christmas eve! happy tt!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really did get some snow. Minnesotan's are a hardy bunch. It takes a whole lotta snow to shut you guys down. Glad you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeletewe've got the 45 to 60 mph wind gusts and snow and sleet going here, but temps are supposed to rise back into the 30's, so alls good... i guess. Pretty song, and a happy TT!
ReplyDeleteI love it when snow piles against the doors like that...makes you feel cozy inside. Unless you have to get out...haha.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow! Enjoy your day and the weekend to come.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris!
ReplyDeleteFirst time visit to your bloggo and I will be back! Lovely TT post and I wished we could have had a snow day this week too!!!
--Oh, and by the way... I LOVED The Shack!! Absolutely LOVED it!
Wow, that's a ton of snow! We got more high winds and icy rain than anything here.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely carol btw.
As I read in the paper, this was a far reaching storm! And that's what my side door looked like( at least 'til it melted ). We're now in an Alberta Clipper! Brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteWe may get a taste of some of that Canadian snow! It's -4 here at 8:00 a.m. on a Sunny Friday. It's so deceiving to look out at the brightness, and then to step into the frigid! I am not looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it all. good video here too.
