It is December 1st, and time to start preparing for Christmas.
While driving to Wallace tonight, many people took advantage of the good weather after Thanksgiving to put up their Christmas lights.
I need to take some time in the next few days to get our nativity scene outside. We do have our Christmas swag on the front door.
Then up come the boxes and boxes of decorations.
The tree must be purchased and put up and decorated.
Recipes to be gone over to see what Christmas goodies I will make this year.
Presents need to be wrapped.
This Saturday I am having my annual Christmas luncheon with my high school friends. This will be our ninth year meeting together. It will be so fun.
I will also be singing Christmas songs with a group at the Wallace Elks on Saturday night.
We are in the midst of practicing for the "Christmas Festival of Music" at Mountain View Congregational Church. This will be Sunday evening, December 13th at 6:30 p.m. Our family is singing, and we are also singing in some smaller groups. It should be a very fun night.
Then there are the school Christmas concerts. Kiki Aru will be in the Kellogg Middle School band concert on December 10th, and Z2 will be performing almost every night the following week, with her Kellogg High School band concert, choir concert, and Joy Bells concerts the following week.
Christmas music and Christmas concerts are always a great way to get in the holiday spirit.
I hope each and every one of you is enjoying the beginning of this most wonderful time of the year!!!
