I'm performing in a carol concert later. Hopefully it'll get me into the Christmas mood!

I'm playing in the orchestra, so I will have full view of the audience for the whole thing… I guarantee that at least one person will be singing the carols opera-style :D

One of the best movie scenes ever :awesome: :

Tonight is our annual Christmas Carol pub crawl. A bunch of us go into the local bars, sing carols, and collect a few dollars for our local food bank. It always puts me in the mood!:-)

I've been listening to their songs on my way to school to make exams :wacky:

I'm seriously wondering why I didn't listen to the album last year, it's brilliant :dazzled:

Dancing around to this in the snow today!

We've decorated our house last week and we still need to put another xmas tree (we have two... cause one isn't enough hahaha! jk) BUT! I did do some xmas shopping in the beginning of the week and I can't wait to play with my nieces hehe They are going to love it! I also have some other presents to wrap up so I will be doing that this evening and writing out xmas cards :nice:

Today's "old" christmas song comes from another member of the rat pack, Franky

Need to get the decorations down from the attic tomorrow

I once overheard someone who needed to use a food bank due to finances moaning that the food they got given was tesco value.

 

No pleasing some-people, give them free stuff and they will still find somewhere to complain/

I have had to use a food bank in the past 2. And I would never complain about a gift of food! But at the same time I understand why some people would be unhappy. It's not right for them to complain, but it's very hard for poor people to afford a decent, healthy diet. Especially if they're trying to feed a family. Still, it's a wonderful service and I am very grateful for it. :-)
