Christingle

It seemed early to us, but we recently had our Christingle service at church.  The children did very well at identifying the symbolism involved, and the leader did very well at fielding some of the 'less correct' guesses.  Well yes, the red ribbon could represent the equator.

We then got to put together our christingles, which Risky managed with some help.  She then proceeded to wave hers around quite a lot - this before it was on fire but while it still had spikes.  We brought it home for a photoshoot and so she could get her hands on the cut-up jelly babies representing the fruit of the earth.  I'm not sure where the cut off heads went, but I didn't see any on any sticks.  Probably for the best.
