A Stable full of Buttons!

14th December 16

Amid the sparkling lights, and under the shade of our beautiful Christmas tree, the nativity story was told in a way hither to unheard!

The characters of the Christmas story came to life, and soon the stable was filled with shepherds, sheep, wise men, angels, a star, Mary, Joseph, a donkey and, of course, the baby Jesus.

We rocked the baby to sleep with our singing of Away in a Manger and Baby Boy.

No Buttons Chapel Christmas is complete without a hearty rendering of Christmas pudding, Jingle bells and We wish you a Merry Christmas.

And so for the long journey back to Buttons ……but not before choosing a chocolate form the Christmas tree.

Happy Christmas, Buttons!
