Taylor had a unique Christmas service this year, as we normally do a play and this year they chose to participate in a Christingle service at the local church. The kids all made their 'Christingle's' prior to the day and had learned different hymns to sing during the service.
The Christingle is a common thing here in the UK, even if this was the first year we learned about it. :) The orange represents the world, the candle is Jesus Christ's light leading us. There are four tooth picks which represent North, East, South, and West, or the four corners of the world. The candy that is put on the toothpicks is for the food and creations of God. The red ribbon that goes around the orange is for the blood of Christ, while the small tin foil under the candle is representing us, who should reflect the light of Christ to all the world. It was neat to be a part of a tradition and to have the focal point truly be on our Saviour for this time of year.
