A Night of Carols

I am so blessed that I was able to attend the carols with some of my favourite people! Our eyes fought with the sun for the first couple hours of the evening but then it wasn't long until we pulled out our jumpers, lit our candles and tested our singing voices. The night finished with fireworks over the rotunda and a swarming crowd of people as they headed back to their cars. 

What a great night of community and love! 

Nine sleeps until Christmas.

Yesterday. Today. Holidays.

Yesterday Mr J and I shopped and ordered our wedding bands, bought a Christmas tree for a whopping thirteen dollars, treated ourselves to a doughnut to share and visited family for dinner. 

Today I jumped up early to assemble and decorate the Christmas tree. With no Christmas carols on CD, I listened to two hours of Glee's Christmas Mix on youtube. Quite good. I was greeted by at parcel at my door and I'm about to start my new book with a cup of tea, work a short shift and start planning this. Keeping my days filled. 

Holidays are giving me time to A) start a new book B) start making Christmas presents C) finalise wedding plans and D) drink lots of tea. This is great.
