On the seventh day of Chirstmas



A work day. Somewhat busy. No crisis...that's festive, isn't it?

Mostly, it was a day of planning Christmasy things. Mostly, lights. Shay drew me a map to a neighborhood in North Brisbane that has really good lights AND I bought tickets for Kevin and me to take the Christmas light bus tour. We are going tomorrow evening- 3 hours!- leaving from downtown and touring the Southern suburbs. Our choices- North, West, South- big money prize for anyone who can guess why NOT East.... Kevin thought there might be more $$ in the Southern suburbs...so they might have more lights. We'll see. My thought was we could drive around up north and see lights on our own. One day. But, not today. Not tomorrow. Not Saturday.

Will she start her Christmas cards tonight? Good question.

And, the music...can you pick out Boy George in this one?

WOW! Life seems so very different then here in the states. To pay to see Christmas lights, now that is a new one!

We are in Texas and have been for 9 yrs..took awhile to adjust to all the heat, but now there is NO place like Home. So to speak.

Wishing u and Tom a Very Happy Holiday and a Very Merry Christmas,

Take care,

Hi Ella!

They've actually published a list of houses with the best lights in the city. (This was a competition sponsored by a radio station.) So, if you want to drive around, you could see them for free. It just seemed like it would be fun to have someone else drive so we could concentrate on looking. The tour is supposed to be about 3 hours long. That should be enough!

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. This will be a challenging Christmas for you, I imagine.

Wishing you the best this Christmas and in the new year.
