Late on Christmas Day we took the bus downtown to the White House grounds to see the annual outdoor Christmas tree. It was all lit up with blue and green and white and red lights, but it didn't change colors like in previous years. However, they did have set up all the little model trains that go around the Christmas Tree so that was fun to watch. We also saw the annual Yule Log burning away throwing off sparks and embers at the crowds gathered round in the cold night air. We also were very pleased to see that this year they had replaced or repaired and painted the figurines for the creche display. The last couple of years we'd seen this display the figurines had all looked a bit in need of repair or patching with some cracks and peeling paint. So it was good to see the Mary and Joseph and
Jesus and Wise Men figurines freshly painted or maybe even new, it was hard to tell. We're glad there is such a display on the White House grounds and there was quite a crowd around it. So, have you seen Jesus lately?
