The Mormon Tabernacle choir is raising a racket on PBS. I think I'll watch them until the opera begins. Their "Jingle Bells" sounds as though the Choir and orchestra cannot decide on a mutual key. Peculiar arrangement.

Usually someone shows up right at six and we dig in but six has come and gone.

I'm impressed you don't munch while you cook.

But what a lovely day of postings we've had on this here site.

It warms the cockles of my heart.

And believe me, my cockles need to be warm at this age.

I sauce taste but that's it - and yet I do feel as if I've already eaten a plateful of foodstuffs. That happens every year and I can never figure it out.

Clarence and George after they are fished out of the river.

And still no one. This is a first. Thirty people will probably all show up at once.

And finally, the gay man and boy love story we threw in to draw the crowds.

Seriously that is a picture of Mr. Glower and young George, after George saves him from putting poison in the Blaine girl's medicine.

Alfie Boe is the guest soloist. He's forcing too much. Big vibrato.

Here's Karl's wedding photo. I never met Jennifer, but I know he's crazy about her.

We arrived home about 10 hours after we left. We found the turkey farm easily and picked up a 15-pound bird' plus 2 box lunches to eat on the road (sandwiches, chips, pickle, cookie). We got to church a full 3 hours before the service was to start, so Richard claimed the couch and I claimed the recliner and we both had naps. Service went well and we were home by 8:30.

Congratulations to Karl and Jennifer!

During our drive home I called my Mom about the timetable for tomorrow and she thinks she won't feel like being here. It's a little depressing.

You know what today has felt like to me? Remember, when you were kids, and your parents were going to have a grown-ups party. So the kids had to entertain themselves in their rooms. But your parents would keep coming in to make sure you were okay and give updates on the party.

We are the kids. BK is the grown-up.

I didn't particularly like Alfie Boe, but Tom Brokaw narrated a piece for narrator, chorus and orchestra about an American pilot Hal Halvorsen and the German children after WW2 that moved me to tears. Then, to top it all off, Halvorsen appeared, now 93 years old, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. I was a mess.
