Thanks for sharing.

Janelle – I say, hang your stockings with care any day :)

Will – We did miss out on the snow and the cold that was predicted didn’t really make it.

GK – Hmm…

Joseph – Ahh the lifestyle of the beach, I am nowhere near there…

Ben – You have a good point, it is good to upset expectations from time to time.

Mark – Glad I was not the only one.

Sure enough I was saying Merry Easter and Happy Christmas to the next 5 people :P

I find it to be a fun way to break expectations.

Here in Lancashire, the snow never last for long. By service time (10:30 AM), there was little on the ground. Yet, this is the third day of Easter and I have seen it snow everyday of Easter so far!

I jokingly announced the first hymn as ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’. But, on BBC Radio 2, the R.E.M. concert was live. The presenter announced it was snowing, hoped everyone had a great Christmas weekend, and then said something about Easter Monday. I wonder if he realised what he said…

No wonder they were empty. I thought I was in trouble with Santa.

Merry Easter!

I think I wished someone at each church a “happy Thanksgiving”, before correcting myself.

Of course, I was in a very thankful mood, but still…
