Red, White, & Green

 

I heard that Martha, over at Beyond the Literary Horizon, was going to do a Christmas themed blog party and, since I love Christmas, I quickly agreed to join. There are just 4 of us bloggers so you should have time to visit us all each day. And there is a giveaway. I hope you'll join us every-other-day for more Christmas fun! Let's get started!

Red, White, & Green

So many things I love about Christmas are red, white, and green. I love this little shelf over our stairs that has a mini Christmas Tree Farm. And there's a red truck! Am I the only one who thinks red trucks at Christmas time are just cute? 
 
I also love the green of the pine branches, the red balls and white lights on the tree. And so much more. But one thing that I love, that doesn't have green in it, are candy canes. I love the peppermint flavor, the colors, and the shape. And I love the story of the candy cane. In fact, I wrote a Christmas play for the younger children of church last year and a song for them to learn about the candy cane.
They LOVED it! (Partly because it had been written just for them and no one else knew it.)
If you have siblings, why not try doing the play for your family? Perhaps you can have someone video you to share with extended family. 
Here's the link for the post with the play and the song.
 
 
One story that partly inspired that play was
