Today I was up in Larbert at the BB residential centre along with a number if other folk for a training day.

As we walke din this morningk we were greated by this jolly festive scene, and a real log burnign stove.  It appealed to my sense of the ridiculous to have a BB badge above the mantlepiece, and stockings and yuletide greens on and under it.

Advent is a mish-mash of things Christians and things Christians stole from other other indigenous religious practices. It seems to me that is all part of the wonder of this season
