Event Description
We tell stories all the time, about what we have done or not done, the stories we have heard from others, those we have read or simply remembered. The Mirthy Storytelling Café is an opportunity to both share stories and listen to them. This month’s theme is, All About Christmas; for some a Christian festival, for others holiday period, but whatever Christmas means to you it has ignited many stories about Santa Claus, reindeers, elves and of course the story of Jesus and how a bright star led the magi to the birth. We will tell and listen to stories about Christmas. Bring a story to tell to the group, or simply come to listen to a collection of stories about all things Christmas.

Sandy got us thinking about where we live and then a story about dragons and concurring fear. I felt comfortable to share my thoughts and hear some interesting stuff from other participants. Sandy instilled me with the confidence to keep listening and telling stories.
Very enjoyable
