Christmas times two, the saga begins...
People are starting to get ready for Christmas.At St. Paul's, we've been given the first of the Advent music to look at. Our next door neighbours have their (plastic) tree up.

Especially if you're judged to be "bad"!Words can be powerful, and audience reception can be powerful, and both have the potential to giv
