Let the Festivities Begin!

We've listened to a little Christmas music at home, gotten out a few decorations, and are a few days into the advent calendar; but things really kick into high gear tonight with our 3rd annual attendance of our neighborhood's Holiday on 44th celebration.

Far more activities than we can hope to squeeze into the one and a half or so hours we'll be there, but we'll try to make sure and squeeze in pony rides, marshmallow roasting, and at least one ethnic dance performance. In the list of activities is also the Camden Civic Theatre players, reprising roles from our Mississippi River event; however, I will not be among them, having chosen to attend the festivities as a patron as opposed to participant.

Also on tap for this weekend:
- The first official meeting of the Camden Civic Theatre.
- The putting up & decorating of the tree.

Holiday on 44th a definite point for 'the city'.

No Christmas music yet in our house, but we put up the beginning of our decorations, with more to come.

We ahd everything up the day after Thanksgiving. A little early for some, but it works best for us. We have three days to get out the some nine rubbermaid tubs of decorations not including the tree and two boxes / tubs of ornaments. I have been enjoying the james Galloway Christmas album over the past couple of days. One of my favorite all time Christmas albums would have to be Neil Diamond's Christmas. I recently recieved a copy of the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, and it sounds pretty darn good.

The whole tying in of all the concepts (decorations, Santa, the Advent Calendar, Christmas music) together is maybe not totally grasped by Lucy yet. But she's definitely getting excited about something.

Maybe she is getting excited about the "Miricle of 44th Street."

If you were to ask her, though, she'd say she was "exgited."
