I just wanted to pop in before the West Coast midnight and will now catch up from where I left off before dinner (the end of page four!) and continue from here at the same time.

I just got back to my house. After dinner, we all came to my sister's house and watced a bit of a video of a Canadian group singing Christmas music that was taped off of TV. They performed a version of Auld Lang Syne, with what is supposedly the original melody. Very different than what is traditionally performed, but incredibly beautiful! I want to get a copy of the video (it's actually available for purchase on DVD and CD) because it was all just so good! I can't remember the name of the group, but it won't be hard to find out.

I hope the first two US New Year's Eves were fun! I guess I'll find out!
