The Housewarming
The Housewarming
A musical by Jesse and Dianne Twietmeyer
In Ireland, a very large candle placed near the front window and lit on Christmas Eve servesas a symbol of welcome to Mary and Joseph who once sought shelter themselves. For centuries it has been a practice to set the kitchen table after the Christmas Eve meal with bread and milk and leave a candle in the window, thus extending hospitality to the Holy Family, to friends, and to wayward travelers on the road.
Setting: Christmas time, a small row-house in a sea-side community
in Northern Ireland
