Finally made some progress on my Yuletide story -- hurrah! I've had the basic idea for over a week, so it was mostly a matter of figuring out precisely where to begin the scene, and then just sitting down and damn well writing. So. Not anywhere near done, but a decent start.
In completely unrelated news, today in Sunday school we made ornaments that the kids will take down to the sanctuary next week to hang on the tree amidst caroling by the adult congregation, which is an annual thing. Each class tends to make ornaments that have some thematic relation to the curriculum. Since I am teaching Moral Tales, and one of our gimmicks is the Moral Compass (which I am always hard pressed not to call the Wheel of Morality "turn, turn, turn; tell us the lesson that we should learn!"), we made teeny tiny moral compasses using glittery silver circles and those two-armed folding brass pin things you can stick through punched holes and use to hold reports together. (Damn if I can remember what they're properly called.)
It was a smallish class, only seven kids, so Helen Ann and I each also made ornaments in case next week's class is bigger -- it would be bad if we didn't have enough ornaments for each kid to carry one.

The tree-decorating is always fun, if a bit logistically awkward. :-) And if you do knit a moral compass, post pictures!
