Don't be a scrooge!

Said our new preacher. Everybody is decorating for Christmas, so take advantage of the opportunity to put Jesus front and center. So, after this particular sermon, I ordered the lighted Nativity shown below the very next day. It has been up all month. Neighbors from Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, and the States have seen this in my yard.

I have always enjoyed looking at Christmas lights and decorations, but never felt the need to do it myself. This preacher is really getting under my skin. And he has cost me money! After 43 years of home ownership, here (below) is another first.
