Getting ready for Christmas



This year our church is presenting a cantata with orchestra, video images, and dramatic scenes. I am the stage manager. The scene pictured here is of Mary and Joseph with the infant Jesus. I designed the set and led the team that built it. Turned out OK, I think. I am also in charge of the actors. The scene depicted above will have four angels enter stage right. I captured the photo below as the angels were awaiting their entrance. Aren't they just precious?

What a PRICELESS picture! I hope you share it with their parents.

It would make a great Christmas card, wouldn't it? Kind of an antidote to all those simpering cherubs...

They are precious indeed!

PS-- The set looks good too!

I agree with Grace - you could send that out as your Christmas card - so others could see how well you put up with "angels" such as these!!

The girls were really cute. They loved having their eyes made up (and thought it was kind of cool to have a guy doing it--me). They needed no entertainment backstage as they took turns striking poses. But when they went onstage, they looked perfectly angelic. The production went off, well, not flawlessly, but pretty well. Tomorrow we strike the set and store it all until next year.

That does look like my Kiddo. She gives Rach and me that look all the time. I did notice however when my child was onstage, her wings were moulting. Could that be a sign of things to come?

Lord, I had to tell her twice to go wash that stuff off her face. I think she was hoping she could sleep in the makeup and wear it to school today.

speaking of signs of things to come...

Set was good. I especially liked the scene you have depicted where the video display is a scene of of the town. It looks like that is the view outside of the stable.

Just wanted to send you my best wishes for Christmas and I do hope that two thousand and eight will be great!
It is cold and WHITE right now in the Netherlands, so we are getting ready for Christmas too! Be blessed.
