A Christmas TreeT
OK, so ignoring the terrible joke, Christmas isn’t Christmas without a creatively decorated Christmas tree.
As part of Tibenham’s annual Christmas concert at St Matthew’s Church, Ian (Allen) puts together a unique collection of Christmas trees, and decorations for the 8 windows in the church. Visitors to the Church got to enjoy some opulent, ‘fully loaded’ trees with toys and ornaments, as well as the Poverty Tree, on which hung a single tin of beans for decoration.
As well as a few well chosen Christmas carols, visitors to the church were also treated to a wonderful array of festive songs performed by the choir and the singers of Magnificent Musicals.
The concert was a fantastic success and there was standing room only in the usually quite 1000 year old church. The efforts of the village raised almost £1,100 for the churches restoration and the coveted Button Moon Christmas jumper, helped raise some additional money in the Christmas raffle.
