Christmas tree diagram

One more from Wednesday’s sit down comedy gig. This, like yesterday’s, also came under the heading Understanding the age-old symbolism behind modern Christmas activities.

My lecture consisted of 47 slides, of which I have now shown you about seven, when you include titles and things. You can tick another ten slides off by looking at Nine lessons learned at the carol service.

There is a review of the event by Liz in which she says some kind things. (I recommend following her blog, Eliza does very little, by the way.)

    Prickly needles to show we suffer with Christ,

    Pleasant smell to remind us of cleaness

    Borbles to show how easily we are distracted by shining things of no worth

    Candy stick “How sweet the name..” sorry :-)

    the metal stand is highly symbolic – no way does this story stand up on its own!

    Thanks for signposting Liz’s blog: worth it for the cute nativity film alone.

    Three legs:

    Scripture – tell us about a stable
    Tradition – endorses stories of a stable
    Reason – says we need a reason

    Other items found on our Christmas tree this year:
    * ageing dough decorations made by the children years ago. Impossible to tell what they are now
    * special bauble containing photos of attractive young adults and a labrador. Turns out these are nothing to do with us, but sample photos to show how you might use it. Adults and dog are more attractive than us so we are leaving them there
    * small wicker baskets no-one can remember buying and nobody knows what they are for

    And underneath stands a beautifully naff glitter covered Bambi type deer that looks like it ought to be in a Babycham advert.
