Dickens on the Square
I just got back from Dickens on the Square, a Christmas event in my hometown every year. It's happening tonight, and tomorrow morning. First, we caroled (in English and American Sign Language), and then we watched the parade. The parade included a nativity scene, which I was happy to see. It was followed by a Santa Claus sleigh. The girl next to me (someone from my old church) said, "Ooh Santa!" I said, "Interesting, Jesus passed by and you said nothing, but Santa gets cheers!" She said that she didn't believe in Santa anyway, but I know she believes in Jesus. Interesting...
Then we ate at Taco Bell (just thought I'd throw that in).
Anyway, the point is, my home town is still old-school enough to include a nativity in their Christmas parade. Go Lockhart!
The signing went well - I was surprisingly comfortable with it. We practiced last night at our teacher's house (her daughter is a year older than me, and she's Deaf).
I can't wait until I can actually carry a conversation with someone. That will be nice.
Yeah, yeah, I know - too much about me, not enough about Christ being taken out of Christmas. You'll get over it.
Happy birthday, Jesus!

Taco Bell is bad for you.
Yeah, but it tastes so good!

Hey, cool blog. DO you guys know where I can get a banner for The Nativity Story movie? I wanted one for one of my websites. I can't find one on the internet. Just curious...Steve
To be honest with you, I'm not really sure.
I googled "The Nativity Story movie" under the "images" category and a bunch of pictures came up that you probably could use in articles. But, I don't know if that's what you are looking for. When I added "banner" to the search, nothing came up. Maybe they have them at the official site. I guess you probably had already tried that, though. Sorry...maybe one of the other teammembers will know.
Tacos for christmas... This I like. :D
Thanks, Kingdom Advancer. I did all those things too, and coul dfind nothing. Maybe there are none. I'm just going to put a pic on the site with a link to the site.
Hey Kingdom Advancer, could you grant me the power to change settings, I would like to put a Christmas cursor on here if you don't mind.
Sure, Keith. Do I just need to temporarily make you the administrator, or how does it work?
Never mind. I figured it out. (It's easy once I just go there and look. ;)) You should have the power to change the settings now.
Got it. Thanks, if you don't like it, you can tell me and I will change it. =D. If you want I can tell you how to do it on your own blog too.
