Christmas Eve greetings!  We have listened to Lessons & Carols from Cambridge and decorated our Christmas cookies.  From the background noise during the broadcast, I suspect a few people in England have bronchitis, too.

DR Elmore, pardon me for laughing, but I can picture you roaming the halls imitating Stanley Kowakski:

I do wonder how Iris has come through her procedure. Hoping she’ll check in when able.

This morning I finished my Advent calendar jigsaw puzzle. I also finished Donald Hall’s wonderful story, Christmas at Eagle Pond. I’m now finishing up the movie The Nativity Story.

I've begun re-reading Robert Graves' wonderful novel King Jesus. I like this and his novel Hercules My Shipmate, but nothing beats his I, Claudius,

DR CharlesSmith, that City Ballet Nutcracker recording has a glitch: the Christmas tree-Battle with Mice sequence plays twice.

Yesterday, DR singdaw posted: One of the best things of my year are all of you folks here.

I feel much the same.

Ditto. :)

Yesterday, my British conductor friend Joe asked me for arranging/orchestration lessons in 2025. I may get a roster of students yet.

That's great, Larry!

DR George, considering that your niece has chickens, I am surprised that your sister buys eggs at Costco.  I expected her to only purchase eggs from pasture fed chickens.

DR Rodzinski I thought your kids were all set with their passports.  Do you need to change something due to their dual citizens status?

I have an early Christmas Eve service to sing, but then I will be done. A lot of churches are jettisoning the traditional late Christmas Eve service.

Nice.  Enjoy your day.

The day can't start more HELLishly than one with snow that's scheduled to arrive just as people absolutely must be leaving their houses for work and other exotic pleasures. We expected this one to be just another "dry" inch or so, which would hopefully blow right off with the backpack leaf blower doing the job. And so it was. But I literally was blowing it just ahead of Kristi and Nathan in her car (he was driving her to her office)... all the way down the 500-foot driveway... the result being that they didn't have to drive over any of it and pack it down into ice. Not one bit. Not one little tire track. I got them all the way to the road, and cleaned up a little more on my way back up to the house. All the while, it was still falling, but definitely lightening up. I finished the whole driveway and our little sidewalk, and we probably have the cleanest, most passable driveway in town right about now. Everything else is solid white (I think we got more than one inch), while we have here what looks like barely a dusting. Fingers crossed, knock wood, etc.

That is impressive.

The pair of keets are loudly discussing their crushed ice.....and throwing their food out of the treat bowl so they can it off the floor.

Not feeling 100%.....but getting there.

At least you are improving.  Do you have plans this evening?

Costco does sell pasture-raised eggs, so she doesn't have to compromise anymore. :)

LOL.  It is that time of year.  I'm shocked that I am fine.
