Our little town of Hollyberry is really coming to life! Here are the latest developments:
The Sounds of Christmas:
This is a joyous season and that really comes through in the sounds that fill our town. There are the laughter and squeals of children at play and merry exchange of greetings from the adults. Carolers can be found strolling the streets and pausing in the town square to serenade the townsfolk. And the sound of bells – from the tinkle of shop bells, to the jangle of harness bells, to the peel of church bells – are everywhere. And if one passes by the open church door they can hear the sounds of the choir practice for the upcoming cantata.
A Catastrophe!
It’s two days before our Christmas Eve festival and a terrible blizzard has struck. The roads are impassable, not only because of the snow but of fallen trees and limbs, so those in outlying farms can’t make it into town. And even those in town will have trouble getting around with all the snow. And, oh no, the roof on the schoolhouse, where the meal was going to be served, has sprung several leaks, not only rendering it unusable but damaging most of the decorations for the program that were stored there.
Oh, no! We must come together. ‘Tis the season for peace on earth and goodwill to all.
Time to rally and keep the spirit of hope alive! It’s not about the decorations, it’s about the people and the love they all share as a community!
Jesus is the reason for the season
Everyone rallies together. The roof is fixed and everyone brings one decoration from home to use.
Small towns are known for helping each other. I’m sure they’ll find a way to enjoy Christmas.
Small towns have always been known for working together. They’ll put a fantastic pageant, substituting for people not able to attend and perhaps put the pageant on later when everyone can attend.
This is coming along so good!
sounds good!
I love it!
This is a p[roblem
Oh, no! However, our small town will pull together!
They pull out old sleighs from the barns and go out to neighbors who can’t get into town on their own. They move the meal from the school to the church and all work together to carry on with the plans. Everything is easier when everyone works together and are determined.
Oh no, this IS a Catastrophe!
Have a new roof party, where everyone brings their tools and repairs the roof.
Oh no! Will Christmas be ruined?
It is really coming together. It is beautiful. God bless you.
I Love it!
It sounds good!
Sounds good. One little issue. If it is a cold blizzard, there wouldn’t be water leaks. Of course, if shingles blew off, snow could get inside and get on everything. If the building is heated even a little, it will melt and there is your wet ruin.
Well, it sounds like we’re just going to have to work together to solve the town’s problems.
