Remember old church Christmas plays? |

The old dusty manger made by someone's grandpa years ago, wearing dish towels with crochet hoops on your head, cardboard wings and a halo made of tin foil and a hanger, and a doll playing baby Jesus? _________________ Doctor of Bovinamodulation

I surely do. Looking back on those days when we didn't have much in the way of fancy, store bought things,there was a sense of innocence and humbleness that seems to have been lost.
At least, I don't get the same feeling watching today's major production. We had to dress up the small children as sheeple, today's church rents camels! _________________ “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why?

Most of those plays had a meaningful point - like todays Hallmark movies.
I was in some good ones. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

I loved that play. Me and my best friend played Harry and Louie, respectively. |

There always seemed to by problems in getting it ready, the props and the practices, but on THE NIGHT, it usually went off without a hitch. I loved the 'play nights'. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

In very old churches... |

You can still see the eyelets on the platform for the wire the makeshift sheet curtains hung from. I've been in a few where they just left the wire up all year. _________________ Doctor of Bovinamodulation |

Yeah, we had a wire with curtains.
I guess that was like today's dark lights, smoke, and lasers.
But we only did it once a year. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

I was told I was baby Jesus, Pastor was Gabriel and My brother was a donkey.
Was told Pastor Jesse made it a comedy. |

1959, Biloxi Church of God, I once had a solo of the third verse of We Three Kings. I sang loudly, "Myrrh Is Mine, and my mind went blank, I finished the entire verse standing there singing Da da da dada, Dum de dum da da da da da!" I received Christmas cards for year from my FRIENDS, "Merry Christmas da da da." True..... OUCH
That one got enough laughs to be a comedy Adam! _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

Did someone bring a donkey or a horse into the church building?
Way back when, rich people had cars and poorer people had horses. Nowadays, the rich people have horses. _________________ Link |
