It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas

Whew, what a busy week! It started on Sunday of last week. We went to a Christmas orchestra concert. Emilys' mom Nancy is in the orchestra, it's also the same orchestra Emily is a member. She is on sabbatical until she is finished with grad school. The concert was a good time. Then on Tuesday we went to a dinner/Theatre at the Jacob Henry Mansion. It was all the ,usic from "Whitw Christmas", Emily's favorite Christmas movie. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but by the end I was having a good time. Things didn't stop there. We went to CLC for their Christmas production, "Christmas Presence". My niece Grace was in the first scene as a ballerina. The show just built from there. The singers and band were on fire. The only bad thing of the night was the fact that the Bears were on and I wasn't glued to the TV. Thankfully we were able to get the score at intermission. I caught the last few minutes plus over time on the radio during our drive home. So three Christmas productions and a Bears winner really made for a good start to the holiday season. Every Christmas season I have one movie I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". I watched it last night and it just put the cherry on top of the past eight days. So let's bring on Christmas!

It's a Wonderful Life is my absolute favorite! There isn't a movie that can come close to it. It really captures the spirit of the season. Glad to hear that your Christmas season has started out so great.

Next year you will have to see the live "Radio" version performed at the Rialto. Joe and I have gone for 3 years in a row. It is great!
