Another Christmas done...
Dec. 26th, 2019 10:32 amVery quiet day here. Sunny in the morning, and then the high clouds came in. Three for dinner (ham, roasted veg, salad, crescent rolls). No dessert, because we've got lots of fruit and cookies anyway.
EU got her Xmas box in the last mail delivery before Xmas. She put the entire box under the tree, and opened it on Xmas day.
Mum called from FL, where she and MidSis and AC were gathered for their holiday, and sang me "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" with AC on 'pianner'.
We skipped the Xmas Eve service at church, as we were not performing! (first time in over 20 years.) Well, and J was shuttling someone to Roscommon. The Bell Choir played on Sunday, and it was more of a train wreck than expected. Someone (not in the choir) removed a couple of pages of music between rehearsal and performance, and so we had to shuffle music & performers so everyone had appropriate music, and we wound up with misordered music and two rookies next to each other for the first time so that they had problems keeping their place. And then while we were performing, some late arrivals took our place and there was no-where to sit. So we left. (Late arrivals were annoying, as they were ostensibly there for peeps in bell choir. Service nominally starts at 9:30, with bells scheduled very early in the service. Service was running behind, and bells wound up at 9:50, and they were *still* late. sigh.) And there was a 'student choir' - youth too old for the children's program - that was horrid in rehearsal, so I didn't mind having an excuse to duck out.
Today, I finish clearing up after Christmas dinner, and then start on the cards. My plan is to get them to people by 6 Jan, but I should start sooner rather than later.
