I think we’ve been to the grocery store at least three times thinking it was our last trip. Pat was there again this morning for cranberry sauce for the turkey and chutney for the tourtiere! By this afternoon it won’t matter what we’ve forgotten it will be too late.

I really enjoyed our concert last night. We dressed warmly as we expected to be standing outside for a bit before the doors opened. We were the second couple there and were able to wait inside the door. As soon as we got seated we started shedding layers. Both Pat and I saw people from various groups we are involved in.

The performers sang some old favourites but in new arrangements. Can you imagine O Holy Night or Silent Night with a swinging feel? Both came off quite lovely. Every year they seem to come up with Christmas songs that I’ve never heard. I was sorry Silent Night wasn’t the final number; singing that at the end of a concert reminds me of Christmas Eve services at home.

I’ve got a load of laundry in the machine and one more to go. I’ll make my tourtiere this afternoon and then we really will be ready!
