Year to entertain

Every third year or so, it is my year to entertain.  This is that year.  And the reason why I have been a blogging slacker.

Not counting family Christmas, or we decide to have a few friends over, tonight was my last  Christmas dinner party of the season.  This group of 14 or 15 ladies has met for years.  We usually have educational programs, but tonight was a covered dish, I furnished the ham.  Great cooks, delicious food.

Tonight one of the ladies here told us this true story about her little four-year-old granddaughter.  I have to pass it on.

This little girl’s older brother was picked to play Joseph in their church’s nativity play.  So, she felt sure her role would be Mary.  However, when the assignments came, she was to play an angel. 

Last week the family visited her home.  She had a little Charlie Brown figurine nativity in her livingroom.  After her family, including her little granddaughter left, she noticed the angel which had been clear at the back was placed right in front, even in front of Mary.
