The Christmas Festival

Although the Clerk of the Weather denied us of a seasonable Christmas - reserving the snow a little late - he could not spoil one of the most enjoyable Yuletides of recent years.

Torrential rain and carols by the Town Silver Band ushered in the festive day, throughout which sparkled from a blue sky continuous sunshine, giving to many that gift which can be bought at no price but only received from the Great Giver Who gives gifts not only at Christmas but every day.

As far Buntingford and district was concerned the season was happily spent; bright and hearty services at all churches were well attended; and merriment ran high at family parties and other events which were quite in keeping with the traditional Christmas spirit.
