12 days of Christmas

The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany (January 6th), which is when the three wise men supposedly arrived on the scene

The day before the day before Christmas Eve

The cimamon rolls are baked, the groceries have been purchased, the breads been baked, and the BBQ has been prepared. All that is needed is people to surround the table tomorrow.

The wraping station has been stored and the gifts secured. Anticipation is great.

The longest night of the year

The precise moment of the 2006 winter solstice will be December 21, 2006 at 7:22 P.M. EST when the sun will be directly over the Tropic of Capricorn.

It seems to me that it would have been good if Pope Gregory had adjusted his calendar to make New Years day align with the winter solstice. Of course we would have had to move Christmas to New Years Day and then where would we be. Well, it might be that we would have moved Christmas to the fall equinox but that would really be confusing

Office Party

The CEO has decided that tonight would be a good night for the office party. I believe it will be at the Market Inn. Not a bad place to take the help. My guess is that the main course will be crab cakes.

Plans are well underway for the Christmas weekend. Especially with food and drink and things under the tree.

Santa comes to Singleton

It was a great evening when Santa arrived and the boy was only slightly afraid.
 

Half way thorugh Advent

The Christmas season is short this year and we are soon approaching Christmas Day. It will be a big year for our youngest grandson, really the first one where he will have a good idea about presents. He will have Christmas at his house, then come over to ours and the next day fly off to his western grandparents. What a big year for him.

This year the whole family will be together on Christmas. That will be fun.
