Each year I seem to find something I want to improve about the Christmas readings we use in December. I've highlighted the couple of changes from last year's. If you want to print this I suggest copy and paste into a word processor document. Apologies for not providing hyperlinks for the scripture readings but I simply dont have time to do that.
They (still) tail off towards the end leaving you to decide how and when to use the last ones. You may, for example, wish to use more than one on Christmas day.
