December Rewind

 

 

Hello Friends, it is time for December Rewind. 

The following photos are of our annual Village Christmas Parade. I think next season my husband and I are going to have a float from The Little Garden That Could.

Everyone is so creative and full of the Christmas spirit.

 

 

A few of my husband's co workers participated in the parade. 

 

 

I love that pig on top of this truck.

 

 

 Rewinding to Irvine Park's Christmas Village.

 

 Each year a new display is added. The Meat Market was the new cut out display for 2022.

 The Friendly Beasts

Jesus our brother, kind and good,

Was humbly born in a stable rude,

And the friendly beasts around Him stood;

Jesus our brother, kind and good.

"I", said the donkey shaggy and brown, "I  carried His Mother up hill and down; I carried her safely to Bethlehem town." "I", said the donkey shaggy and brown.

"I", said the cow, all white and red, "I gave Him my manger for His bed; I gave Him my hay to pillow His head;" "I" , said the cow, all white and red.

"I" said the sheep with curly horn, "I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm, He wore my coat on Christmas morn." "I" said the sheep with curly horn,

"I", said the dove from the rafters high, "Cooed Him to sleep, that He should not cry, We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I." "I", said the dove from the rafters high,

"I", said the camel, yellow and black, "Over the desert, upon my back, I brought Him a gift in the Wise Men's pack." "I", said the camel, yellow and black,

Thus, every beast by some good spell, In the stable dark was glad to tell Of the gift he gave Emmanuel, The gift he gave Emmanuel.
