Getting ready for Yuletide

Wow hard to believe that it has been over a month since I last posted!

I am in the process of getting ready for the holiday season. We have two Yule celebrations, overnight vigils, to participate in and also have our own homestyle Yule celebration to get ready for. My mum is visiting for two weeks over Xmas so most of the prep must be done before December 22nd. Time to get busy!

This weekend we have a Christmas Concert to attend on the Friday night. Lindley, my 20 year old daughter, is competing in the Canadian Music Competitions this year. This Friday is their Xmas fund raiser concert and she is singing an aria for it. December 5th is our Daw Family Xmas get together before my mom-in-law leaves for a warmer climate. December 6th we are putting up our Xmas tree in the family room with hot chocolate and White Christmas playing in the background. Wow, it is beginning to get busy! Okay so time to knuckle down and get some stuff done.

I would like to do some Christmas baking tins for gifts and need to finish my Christmas Cards and Christmas gifts! I love this time of year! :) So gonna put some xmas music on the stereo and get my laundry in and pick out some recipes and get planning!

We had our first dusting of snow last night and it is getting me in a festive mood.
