Despite a pepperoni crisis the Toastie Thursday team drafted in the help of salami and chorizo and 360 happy high schoolers were fed. 😀

What a great way to begin 2025 - watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Half an hour in and already a handful of brilliant songs to bring joy. Not quite at all time favourite 'The Posh Posh Travellin' Life' but warming up my voice to join in.

We had the joy of our nativity along with Brodie's baptism this morning. Brodie brought cousins from Spain and Inverness, and godmother Karen and grandparents beamed in from Australia. Bethlehem is in sight....

Wise people, shepherds and an angel were all spotted on the streets around East Craigs today. Rumours of a walking nativity, hot chocolate and fun. And a big thank you to Bob from the MidYoken who told us there was no room at the inn.

Very lovely to sing carols at Busy Bees nursery Edinburgh Park. We resisted the urge to pull Joyce around on the sledge.

One of my favourite services of the year, when Corstorphine Primary comes to the church at Christmas, accompanied this year by the school band. The brass section is hiding round the corner.

Blustery weather didn't prevent our community carol singing on the green outside the Old Parish, belting out everything from Hark the Herald Angels Sing to Frosty the Snowman.

Award winning toasties? Who awards these awards and how does one get said award? Toastie Thursday is surely in with a shout.

Christmas can be difficult for many different reasons. If you find this time of year tough, come along to our Blue Christmas service at 3pm on Sunday, 15th December at Morningside Parish Church.
