now I'm in hte Christmas mood

Yesterday  I finished some Christmas shopping, not all of it, that would be much too out of character, but enough that I could get all of the gifts for my Spokane family shipped out today. I always feel good when I know that box has been sent. I also finished shopping for my angel tree girl. My granddaughter helped me with most of this but I needed to find one more item on her list.  I braved Toys R Us to find a FurReal Puppy which I have temporarily stowed in the spare bedroom because it is motion activated and was barking and talking to me whenever I walked by.  There must be a way to turn it off but I haven't figured it out. After Sunday it will be someone elses problem. As a reward (at least I'm seeing it that way) for all this energetic pre-Christmas preparation, this evening I was able to relax and enjoy "Jingle Bell Jazz" presented at C2G Music Hall by "Heartland Sings". it was a lovely evening of lively Christmas music and I really enjoyed it. The wine helped too. The music ranged from classics like "Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire" which always brings back memories of a long ago visit to New York City to new compositions like "Food Coma Christmas" which was almost to true to be funny. Tomorrow it is supposed to snow. It just keeps getting better and better.
