Christmas in Mortlake! (Photo Credit: Church website)
When I'm not feeling like it's Christmas, all it takes to get into the spirit is the sound of Christmas carols and the sight of festive market stalls (the glistening Christmas trees help too.) St Patrick's Church in Mortlake is holding its Christmas Festival on Thursday 8th December and there will be a Christmas vibe in the air - you will want to sing those beloved Christmas carols! We all have a favourite, mine is The First Noel, it always reminds me of Christmas.
If you have not bought any gifts yet or are not sure what to buy, there will be plenty to choose from and who knows, you may end up buying all your gifts in one go and you don't have to worry about sweating it out in the big department stores and shopping centres! The environment at the festival will be much more soothing too. Shop amongst the laneway market stalls while listening to Christmas music, enjoy carols on the Parish green, forget cooking dinner and indulge in gourmet delights from the food stalls and the kids will have fun in the kid's zone.
If you would like to be a part of this event and can volunteer some time to help on the evening, you are warmly welcome and can
sign up here.
St Patrick's Church has been the location for several wonderful events this year. So bring along your family, friends and Christmas cheer for an enjoyable evening. I think Santa has an invitation ... but you will need to come along and see if he RSVP'd.
