DESCRIPTION:Hixon Christingle took place on Tuesday 23rd December 2025.\nI
 t is the third year in a row that we have been able to provide this servic
 e and the number attending has grown each year. The Church looked beautifu
 l with the Christmas tree lit up and every window dressed in holly\, mistl
 etoe\, and ivy. The smell of oranges and pine-cones filled the air along w
 ith the wonderful music coming from the organ played by Maureen Siddal. It
  provided a warm and very welcoming atmosphere to the many that attended. 
 It was heartwarming to see the church come alive with so many children and
  adults. The Reverend Viv Starkie gave the address and thanked everyone fo
 r coming to celebrate and support the Christingle Service. Viv was ably su
 pported by her Christmas Angel with many of the children interacting enthu
 siastically with the service.\nThe Christmas hymns were sung loudly\, and 
 we were not short of volunteers to take the crib figures to the front of t
 he Church.\nThe highlight obviously came when the Christingles were lit an
 d the lights dimmed. It all looked so magical and was a wonderful way to s
 tart the Christmas holidays.\nMany many thanks\, to everyone who came and 
 the army of volunteers that ensured the whole thing went smoothly.\nA tota
 l of £188 was raised for the Children’s Society.\nHere’s to Christing
 le 2026!\nSonia Burgess
