I know I'm not alone in my love of all things Christmas and for many of you the planning, shopping and cooking can start months beforehand but for me it can't really begin until December, so roll on tomorrow. I have now started my Christmas cake (I know really it should be baked in November but I still think there is plenty of time to get it sufficiently fed with brandy if you start at the beginning of December - especially if you start the fruit soaking in brandy before you bake, which it is now doing.
I finally managed to get to choir last night which was great - been practising lots of Christmas songs for our carolling outings. Our alto section have decided we want to defect to the soprano side as they get the best tunes - I cannot get my head round singing Merry Christmas Everybody on a harmony and not the main tune that we all know and love! Having said that, it sounds great I just would prefer to be singing the melody :-)
I've also had a busy weekend painting - no not my house (which is in dire need of it, especially the hall/stairs/landing!) but the scenery for panto - it is going to be a fantastic show and is nearly sold out - Rossendale's only Christmas panto - Cinderella http://www.facebook.com/events/274324999268485/
