Kicking off the Christmas Season

So around the Sloan household, Dave makes me promise to hold off on Christmas music till Dec. 1st--or, as it will be this year, till we put the Christmas tree up (which will be tomorrow--Thanksgiving came early this year!). But I made no promises about this blog, so let the Christmas season begin! This would have been one of our largest Christmas Nativities. Can anyone name that year? And check out that fearsome angel--I can see why the shepherds might have been trembling!
