But the peace one feels inside while wrapped with the warmth of love and friendship in a church is a beautiful feeling.

I loved how you described the woods and the vicar. I could sense the love and peace in the church and felt I was there with you. I would love to attend such a warm service filled with carols on Christmas. I don't know if I have a favorite carol but I do love Noël. Merry Christmas and thank you for adding your story to my meme.
