No crib in town centre
 
Have you noticed that the crib has not yet been put up near to the Market Hall, has it been forgotten or is it to be placed at the start of December?

maybe the folks in charge are trying to find the right size "teddy bear" to fit into the manger , so as not to offend any local sensibilities :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was rather surprised to see it missing considering a great deal of time and effort was spent by volunteers restoring the figures to their former glory. They were incredibly mucky and chipped.

Think it will be there anytime soon. They used to have a blessing when the lights were switched on but that went by the board. Sure it went up in December last year.

It went up later than the lights last Christmas.

Shame the blessing of the crib isn't part of the switch on any more but maybe it's not PC. But strange considering that Christmas wouldn't exist but for Christ.

It looked crap and dont think it will be missed as it was the same old tatty looking effort every year.

we were only discussing this last night but in the observer it mentions a blessing and carol ceremony next week, so i assume it will appear then.
