To observe the O Antiphons we sang the appropriate verse of O come, O come Emmanuel during our Advent celebration here at home.
The children had a practice for their Christmas play at church today. I translated my husband's Christmas letter into German. Now I just have to type it. Jonathan and Charlotte also watched the German DVD Pippi Langstrumpf
(Pippi Longstocking) and laughed a lot. Um die O-Antiphonen zu benutzen, haben wir die passenden Strophe von O come, O come Emmanuel (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel) während unserer Adventsandacht gesungen.
Die Kinder haben heute in der Kirche für das Weihnachtskrippenspiel geübt. Ich habe den Weihnachtsrundbrief meines Mannes ins Deutsche übersetzt, jetzt muß er "nur" noch getippt werden. Jonathan und Charlotte haben Pippi Langstrumpf auf DVD
gesehen und viel gelacht. 
My mum called me Pippi Longstocking and I don't think it was just the red hair neither!! She was a bit of a tearaway wasn't she?!!! Hmm, I don't think I'll ponder too much on my childhood! I must get a copy of the book and read it!
ReplyDeleteHope your preparations are going well. Our candidate sisters did not make it here, they got to London and were stranded!! I made contact with a very kindly priest and he provided accommodation until, they could get a return flight out!! Ah well, the things of God are very strange sometimes.

Ist es ein traditionnelles Krippenspiel? Ich freue mich schon auf Bilder. Ich liebe solche Krippenspiele. Hier bei uns gibt es leider viel zu wenige davon.
ReplyDeletePippi is a wild little girl, but also funnny, strong, and warm-hearted. My daughter absolutely loves the books and movies.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that the sisters didn't make it to your place. Do you have too much food now? I hope that the snow is not too bad.
Das Krippenspiel ist ganz traditionell, leider gibt es nicht so viele Kinder in unserer kleinen Gemeinde. Dafür kommen aber viele ehemalige Kinder, die jetzt Studenten sind, Weihnachten zurück und sorgen für die Musik.
