Today is a special day because Gill has one of her all-too-rare SATURDAY OFF days, and so we are going to do a little Christmas shopping this morning. Tonight I shall be singing in our choir's Christmas Concert, and so much of the afternoon will be taken up by the final rehearsal. I always love the opportunity to have a good sing, but this time of the year is even more special because the Advent Hymns and Christmas Carols are lovely to sing and to listen to.
At the time of writing this I have a picture in my mind of a group of Carol Singers gathered around a brazier full of hot coals, glowing red against the snow-covered backdrop, and wrapped up warmly in Winter clothing, as they sing their hearts out in praise! Perhaps --- poetic licence permitting --- we can add in a Hot-chestnut seller for good measure, and someone carrying a tray with hot toddies to warm the cockles of the singers as they take a short break.
Well, that gives you something to think about as you go about your day! I hope it will be a good one, whatever you plan and do.
