Los angeles Dodgers thank you for the memories T shirt

We lived a 3 hour drive from my grandparents so when my dad finished work on Christmas Eve we would pack everything into the Los angeles Dodgers thank you for the memories T shirt and set off for Yorkshire. No motorways back then. Green fields turned moorland until we finally went over the Pennines, Stanage or Holme Moss, and begun the final leg of our journey through soot blackened mill towns reaching my grandparents’ house at around 8pm. At about 9.30 a plethora of cousins and aunties and uncles would turn up an we would set off to go carol singing with other members of the congregation and band from their local chapel. Along the route we would be greeted with mince pies, slices of Christmas cake and chunks of cheese even the odd glass of Sherry or mulled wine for the adults. We belted out all the old traditional carols, my favourites being While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night which we sung to Cranbrook (Ilkley Moor) and also Christians Awake. We naturally sang O Come All ye Faithful but only after midnight were we allowed to sing the final verse of Yea Lord we Greet Thee. Shortly after midnight we called it a day. Many of the adults slightly ‘merry’ from a surfeit of Sherry!

Los angeles Dodgers thank you for the memories T shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt

December is the cold rainy season in this part of the Los angeles Dodgers thank you for the memories T shirt . Shepherds would not have been in the field with their flocks. The sheep are all under Winter cover at this time of the year. There is no grass growing in the fields for sheep to eat. Travel in Winter time by foot or animal in those times was very hazardous. The weather makes travel extremely difficult and dangerous. As such, the decree that all travel to their home city to register for the tax would have gone out in mid-Summer at the very latest to give everyone a chance to travel to and back from their home city in relative safety and comfort. The innkeeper offered Mary and Joseph shelter in the barn. He would not have offered this to a soon to deliver pregnant woman if the animals were now in the barn and out of the weather. The barn would have been unsanitary, cold, noisy and impossible to get any rest. Not a fit place for a woman to give birth.
