the clergy carol, verse two
Spending time in preparation Fa la la la la la la la. Searching for the inspiration Fa la la la la la la la. Reading books and praying hard Fa la la la la la la la. ‘Til services are all prepared Fa la la la la la la laaaa. Time is passing far…

I suspect I might be a bit ‘over nativityed’. This morning I looked at the mixer tap in our kitchen, over which my wife had draped the dishcloth to dry, and thought, “Hmmm, a shepherd tap.” I wonder what the other signals may be that you have had too many nativity experiences? When you see…
