The next activity was that we would have our own candlelight service to "Silent Night"...so Nana Sally busted out some candlesticks and put the classic Mariah Carey Christmas CD in. We dim the lights, light our candles and press play on the CD player....a nice thought right? All was fine (aside from the sarcastic remarks and eye rolls from Brian & his sister) until the wax from the candles started dripping down onto bare hands (so that's why they always have those paper things on them at church!). These injuries caused people to say things that were not very Christmas-y while they yelped in pain.
Lessons learned from this experience:
1. Always provide some type of protective covering to candlesticks
2. Try to find a short version of "Silent Night" (Mariah Carey's version might be the longest silent night EVER)
A painted hindsight gloves a chocolate past the hungry plastic.

LOL...I can just imagine the eye rolls that would happen in my family if someone suggested this! I'm glad you guys learned a lesson or two! hee, hee.
Haha! How funny! (no offense!)
hahahaha! I love it for 2 reasons: a) I love Sally's good intentions
b) I love that Brian and Amy are always annoyed with her good intentions!
Classic!
The two shortest versions of Silent Night I have on this computer come in at 3:08. One is Sarah Brightman, the other is Jewel. The longest I have is the Temptations at 6:05.
