Flashback Friday: Christmas Program At Alston Brook

My dad resides at Alston Brook, a local nursing home. This past December, the activity coordinators and residents presented a Christmas program for family and friends. It was a great celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus. Corinna was asked to be an angel and she obliged.

Here are the two younger angels pictured with a resident.

Here is Mary holding the baby Jesus.

Corinna shows off her halo and angel wings.

The men in the picture depict the shepherds watching their flocks by night.

The wise men bear gifts for the king. My dad is the wise man in red.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those

with whom he is pleased."

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them."

(Luke 11-20)
