We were challenged to create a living altar. I realized many of my Christmas Decorations are a living altar. I walked through the house pausing at several of the items I had hurriedly placed around the house a couple of weeks ago. A Nativity that my parents bought their first Christmas together. No extra money for anything else. A bell hanging on a doorknob given to us by my maternal grandma for our first Christmas together. A trio of elves I “stole” from my Uncle during a family gift exchange. And then I came to an angel made out of burlap, now torn in spots due to age. My paternal grandma loved crafts(I didn’t inherit that gene🤣) When my son was young he looked at the angel and said “that is the ugliest angel I have ever seen” and since then…..she has been affectionately called Ugly Angel.
