I wasn't going to bother having a tree, but there were a few left in the Northwood Plaza lot after the sale was over (I think! There was no one there to take my money) on Dec. 24. This is the top third of one of them.

All my trees since 1988

In the morning see above.

In the evening at St. Thomas' Anglican

It turned out to be a different "quiet" little affair and so my (sort of) planned solo set turned out quite different, partly because of the presence of St. Michael's Junior Choir, their family and priest. Not that I'd been planning on swearing; it's just that I decided to go in a completely Christmas/Winter direction, rather than Lost Dogs, U2, Dylan, Cohen direction. My set lists (in approx. order as best I remember): Jingle Bells Rudolph Happy Xmas/War is Over Matty: "Maranda and friends need to sing now." (I accompanied them on a few Christmas songs.) Then solo again: Mary's Boy Child Jingle Bell Rock It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas White Christmas Little Drummer Boy All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth The Christmas Song (Chestnuts....) Go Tell It On the Mountain The Coventry Carol Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Private Table Concert for Thomas & Daniel Abthorpe and friend, Riley: Frosty the Snowman O Holy Night Review: "The Leafs suck!"
