Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve - the shopping is done, both for presents and dinner, and the house is as clean as it's going to get. Time to relax and enjoy a bit of listening to carols and anticipating the evening and day ahead.

Tonite, as is our long custom, we'll head up to Matt and Laura's for Christmas Eve dinner. Tomorrow, Chuck is coming over for a low stress Christmas dinner.

To my friends and family, a toast for best wishes this Christmas and in the coming New Year.

I leave you with an impressive version of one my favorite Christmas Songs - the Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve/Sarajevo performed live on handbells.
