Memories of Christmas Celebrations
Teens
All ages have memories of a past Christmas to share.  Some are passed down through families, others were experienced by us.

 

Remember the disappointment of being selected for only a minor role in the pageant but how happy you were when Grandpa said you were the best 3rd shepherd ever. 
 
Our wise teens remember singing carols with gusto even when the words made no sense such as “egg-shells dayo” for “Gloria, in Excelsis Deo.”  All are part of the magical memories of Christmas.
As we approach Christmas and retell the story of the birth of Jesus, it brings back the magic of celebrating past Christmas traditions.  While memories differ for each person the sharing of these memories has become a Condit tradition.

Children
Children interviewed grandparents or members of the congregation about their Christmas Memories.
 
Wearing the name of the person who shared their memory, the children passed on the memory while a photo of the person was displayed.   Several children shared special memories from folks no longer with us.
 
Wonder what Gene Wampler paid for his picture?????
