"T'is The Season"

T'is our "Victorian" looking Christmas tree, in our Victorian parlour... (Actually our TV room, ha!!!) My job is/was (as per every year...) to get the tree up, and the lights on and working... Darl, Dawn, Donald and Robert did the rest of the decorating, and a grand job indeed... And the Christmas spirit was in the air, with John Gracie's 1996 Christmas CD playing in the background, and a few "wee drams" of Egg Nog on the go, ha!!! Leah will be home for Christmas, and we're hoping that Darlene and Dawn's dad, (my father-in-law) Carmen might make the trip up from Nova Scotia... And unlike most men, aside from one more item I have to pick up, (doing that on Friday) my Christmas shopping is actually done early this year...

Tomorrow I'm playing at the Perrin Villa Senior's complex in Montague, for their annual Christmas party, and then on Christmas Day at 5:30PM, I'll be playing at "The Upper Room" in Charlottetown, for their annual Christmas supper... I really enjoy playing music this time of year, as Christmas music really seems to make folks sincerely happy... We held our Food Bank Christmas concert on Sunday evening in our church, (Murray River Church of Christ), and everyone had a grand time, including Premier Pat Binns who attended... Mr. Binns actually lives just 5 minutes or so outside of "The River" as it's known locally, and he's a great supporter of community events... And I've also golfed with him a few times, enjoying his company very much...

So all is well here in "The River", and I'll try to be a little more diligent with my entries, but don't necessarily count on it, ha!!! I've a lot on my plate these days, with the commencement of our new Mizzen Men CD recording only a few weeks away on January 15th... "Slainte"...
