By my reckoning it's only another 37 days to Christmas, and would you believe it, I heard my first Christmas Carol today. It was as background music for some advert, and was so impressive that I can't even remember what the carol was or what it was supposed to be advertising!
However, it is about this time of year that I commence to put together all the music for the Christmas Services at church and the music for the concerts we will be giving with Eldwick & Gilstead Male Voice Choir. We have been practising a whole range of Christmas music with the EGMVC for about a couple of months, so I now select from the repertoire we have rehearsed and compile a Christmas Concert programme.
We already have four concerts booked. One on this coming Monday, one on Saturday 4th December, one on Sunday 5th December and another on Saturday 11th December.
Having chased up the people responsible for compiling the readings for the Lessons & Carols and the Christingle/Nativity Play about a month ago I now have all the necessary information to put these service together, so I have spent most of this afternoon sorting out Christmas music and carols!
We seem to be fairly well prepared in our house at the moment. Lots of Christmas presents have already been bought. The good lady usually starts her Christmas Shopping whilst we are on holiday! We have also spent a couple of days shopping over the last two weeks as well.
The Pantomime tickets have been purchased! It's booked for Friday 14th January at 7.00 pm. [Just in case you're wondering what it is this year - it's Dick Whittington]

We now await the snowy weather which is supposed to happen soon! (Bags of Rock Salt and a new Snow Shovel have already been purchased!)
