So, I am home and ready to watch the Seahawks and hope for a Christmas Miracle.

The Cincinnati Bengals just got one and knocked Detroit out of the playoffs.

The English speaking congregation skipped Christ the King Sunday and went right into Advent 1, so we celebrated the 4th Sunday of -Advent last week, and held no services this morning . We have 4 services thus evening, the first of which started at 4

The Spanish speaking congregation being more liturgically correct have been celebrating according to the church calendar their service was at 11:30 tiday. So I nipped up to church around 1 and changed the hangings from blue to white, refilled all the candles ( we use oil candles not wax) and set up for the 1st evening service.

The assisting minister from this service is supposed to reset for the 5:30 and then I'll reset for the 8:30 (which I am attending) and afterwards for the 10:30.

Just up from a needed nap.

Earlier this afternoon a group of us sprang a surprise Christmas party on a friend who’s stuck in the hospital after skin graft surgery. I think he was touched.

While we were there, a most irreverent nun stopped by to give him communion. Her stories about her ex husband, now a deacon, were priceless.

Wishing you all a day of peace and happiness! Who knows how 2018 will deal with us?

You must have some kind of fish, Elmore. If you were Italian, you would be having the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

Last year I had the Feast of Approximately Seven Fishes, because I don't know what all was in that bag of frozen fish stuffs. I only liked the shrimp.

Tonight I am having the Feast of the One Fish. Just shrimp. And since I live in the desert, it is frozen.

I checked out Get Out from the library yesterday. Really looking forward to watching it now after BK’s notes.

I am baking something gingerbread like in the ridiculously expensive pan I bought at the baking store. I think I will take the goodies to the neighbors. Maybe.

I didn't pay that much for it, though. Not quite.

John, yesterday's produce box contained about two or three pounds of garlic. I took a dozen heads to the next door neighbor. He was about to smoke a brisket, he said, and was just about to go to the store to get garlic.
