Every year in my town the local churches put on an interactive Bethlehem village. I haven't been for a while but it has grown considerably. The have the Romans there and everything. Last night they had a line of "recruits" for the soldiers. There was this line of children all walking along with their spears etc except the last little guy whose helmet kept falling over his eyes and his spear was feeling a bit heavy so he dragged along, he had the darkest scowl til they were told to stop then he was Mr Happy again. I've never seen a child so happy to have something stop. I wonder if they cake afterwards?
