For the second year in a row, St Christopher's supported Beyond Church's Beach Hut Advent Calendar. This year, the theme was Mexican and St Christopher's children learnt about the story of the miracle of the poinsettias and Los Posados where Mexican families visit one another's home re-enacting the Christmas story.

The children had made flowers, cacti and chilli peppers to decorate the hut and the choir performed a selection of carols. Year 1 children sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Spanish.

We were delighted that Meridian TV came to film the event for the evening news although it was a very damp December 1st! BBC Breakfast TV also came along the next day and this event is due to be shown later in December along with the other Beach Hut Advent scenes.
