Jerry & I spent about an hour putting together a foam nativity scene. Isn't it pretty?
Uh-oh...
The poor wise man!
Haaa! Haaa! Haaa!
All that resisted her path of destruction...
So I think I'm about ready for Christmas. Finished my baking tonight. We picked up the tree a couple weeks ago and there lights around the window. Christmas presents are wrapped and cards will be mailed out on Monday (well, they'll be New Years cards).
It's unusual for me to be so relaxed this close to the holiday. I think it's because it's mid week. I'm not busy trying to get things done during the week. And it's been snowy in Calgary so it's "felt" like Christmas. We even have stockings hung on the (fake) fireplace.
We'll head down to Lethbridge after the Christmas eve service in Calgary. Hopefully we'll be able to stop in at Jerry's brother's house for their big Christmas eve party. Turkey will be on Tuesday at his brother & sister's place. And we'll head home Boxing Day afternoon. A bit of a whirlwind Christmas but it should be good.
We're having our special Christmas dinner tomorrow. We're making roast duck. It's a bit of a tradition. We come up with a fancy meal and have a special time - just the two of us.
The school semester wrapped up mid December & I've been working at Akita until I go back on the 7th. I've been sick with a cold but am almost better. Had laryngitis last weekend. My voice is almost back and I've been trying to rest it for singing in the choir. Last week I played the prelude music at church. It was very nice to play as I love Christmas carols.
Not sure what our plans are for New Years. We both only have the day off and will have busy work days both before and after the holiday.
Have a great day!
