Getting Ready for Christmas
We had a nice surprise first thing this morning. Our neighbour Jean knocked on the door carrying fresh baked sticky buns ..... hmmmmmmmmm good. After that tasty treat I got organized and baked a double batch of chocolate chip cookies and my famous mashed potatoes. Some of the cookies were going down to the hall as my contribution to "finger food" for tonights program, some went in a cookie jar for Ed and I gave the rest to our neighbours (Jean & Bob, Everett & Linda .... we're expecting more neighbours after Christmas). The mashed potatoes are for the Christmas dinner pot luck.
The program at the hall was very good. Betty, the entertainment director out did herself again. The theme this year was "Traditions of Christmas". The hall was darkened at the start of the program and when the curtain opened we saw a light nativity scene. At the same time Lorne was reading the Christmas story. When he was finished we heard Ginger and Ray singing Silent Night, first quietly then slowly gaining volume. After that Betty told us about different Christmas traditions intermixed with Christmas carols led by Bob with Jean accompanying him on the piano. When the French Canadian traditions were talked about, Paul (he's from Hull Quebec sang a French Christmas carol. After the program everyone enjoyed the finger food and visited.
Bob singing with his silly hat.
We lit candles and sang Silent Night.
When we got home Zaph decided to show Ed how much he had missed him.
