Children are such a precious gift and just occasionally do things which truly humble us. One such moment occured when Jemima met Father Christmass this week. After singing carols the children took turns to sit with Fr. Christmass and his naughty snowman helper, whose cheeky behaviour caused much mirth. Each time he would invariably pick his nose and lark about. But his favourite move was to try and steal presents from the bag and from the children- before being slapped firmly on the hand by Fr. Christmass! Jemima took this all in whilst she waited, and what you see pictured above, moved everyone present to cry ‘aaawww’. For as Jemima recieved her gift – she turned and gave it to the snowman- wanting him to have what he had set his heart on…what a selfless act and how genuine- from one who is only just 2 years old. As you can see the tranquility did not last and someone is already very excited- dancing to carols in fairy wings this afternoon!
Finally enjoy a shot of myself with Fr. Christmass. His expression understandable after I asked for orthodox Catholic teaching and clarity within the whole Church of England!
