For the past twenty years, a friend does not miss shopping the day after Thanksgiving. It has become a family ritual. Each year, Mary, her three daughters and now her granddaughter go shopping on "Black Friday". This year, they began their ritual at 3:00 a.m.. She was able to purchase of a 32" flat screen color TV for $246. (Target) Pretty good. After shopping...breakfast at a local restaurant. ...returning home for sleep.... then later in the day, her hair appointment.
Her grandson was the one who said,"That is why I don't like crowds now".
He understands his fear of crowds. It is not a mystery.
During this season of the year, the sacred and the secular events can get twisted and tangled. My focus, to keep my eye on the eternal.
Trying to capture this unique nativity scene was challenging. This is one of Sharon's nativity scenes.
Wooden pieces shaped together to form a puzzle that represents the birth of Jesus.
