Here's hoping you had a splendid Christmas holiday!
We enjoyed the Zoom Christmas program put on by London Grove Friends Meeting, with carols, a story and Scripture readings. Marlborough Friends Meeting's customary Carol Sing also went online, with a podcast featuring music, songs and Bible verses. The latter ended with the hope that God willing, we will be able to meet in person in 2021.
For the past several Christmas Eves we've had the pleasure of going to a laid-back open house in Embreeville, and we did it by Zoom this year. The toddler son of the hosts stole the show. He and his father were assembling a toy John Deere tractor that had many, many parts, one of which just wouldn't fit.
The youth carefully studied the situation.
"I see the problem!" he announced to his father triumphantly.
We had a short Zoom meeting on Christmas Day with family members. We listened to "The Nutcracker Suite" and hours-long YouTube Christmas carol playlists. We watched "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," the original animated Grinch movie (the only one worth watching), and the 1951 Alistair Sim version of "Scrooge."
And we particularly enjoyed watching "The Prince and the Carrot," the Pantomime (this year a virtual one) produced by the Kennett Amateur Theatrical Society. We got to sing the Silly Song and greet the Dame, just like it was a normal year and we were at the Kennett High School auditorium! The Panto is online at KATS British Panto | Kennett Amateur Theatrical Society | Inc. (callkats.org) and is highly recommended.
Imagine my amazement to find I hadn't gained any weight despite all those deliciously rich Christmas cookies. I'm not at all sure how that happened.
