For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 20, 2013

sweet…..

Hey, I resemble that sniff.

John’s an old softy after all!

Our church’s Christmas pageants are usually comedic with a slight twist. Last year it was “Christmas In Reverse”, and one segment this year (by the Youth Group) told the Story of Christmas entirely in puns! However, this year there was also a serious segment where I started to cry, which was VERY inconvenient, as I was one of the narrators!

I understand the humor…but if after several years of marriage you still think your husband is “matter-of-fact about these things” (in other words, you don’t know him that well), there’s a problem…

So sweet. This year, all 3 of my kids and both the pastors’ kids were in it, we were sitting with other parents and every one there was struggling, between laughter and crying, all night.

Of course, John could just be crying because his broken foot hurts.

Yes men do cry !!!!!! 8^)

Allergies acting up! Eye Sweat!

John watching his bathrobe on stage.

What is it about Christmas plays that causes us to get teary eyed! I’m the same way, especially when I hear a beautiful rendition of Carol of the Bells!!

I get teary-eyed if I hear someone singing in a beautiful voice. I do that in church a lot. I have to dab my eyes but, I pretend I’m just wiping away perspiration.

It is a special moment of joy and excitement to be able to see Christmas drama being presented using your bathrobe.

-Yes! Another good joke! Just 30 more and you’ll finally have enough for open mike night….

Or is he still in pain from dropping a 25-pound frozen turkey on his foot?
