Christmas Thoughts

I have officially finished Christmas shopping...I hear bells ringing, I think! Anywho, I must say that had a wonderful time doing it and probably spent way too much money...especially on Tim. I got him...oh, you though that I was gonna tell, didn't you Tim? No way!! I actually felt like I was buying him gifts this year, not buying stuff for him with his wages...it was kind of fun, I must say! The kids, of course, get spoiled yearly...but it's fun.

On another note, I have really been enjoying teaching at the school and I am quite sad that I don't get to teach after December as the teacher I am filling in for is coming off of paternity leave. Great people to work with...and as a side note, the rink across the street has the best wonton soup ever!! It has chicken and sprouts and cabbage and onions and tonnes of wontons...very yummy!! (it is sad that I like to go to work because of the food-although very Ukranian of me)

Finally, what I really want to write about: The Elim Christmas Production. It was awesome. I think it is the best in the city (and perhaps the province...in my non-biased opinion) A choir, a symphony orchestra, a cane and some dancers...I mean who doesn't like Christmas music and with a full orchestra, no less?? Honestly, who? If you can find someone, I promise that we will go out and I will humiliate myself by karaokeeing a "Pink or Shania" song of your choice!! It was so great, people...if you missed it, your year is worse off. I did find out many things at the production...70 people co-ordinated in blue and white looks cool, not corny, Tim is apparently great with a cane (who knew?), Pete does stand-up!?(double who knew?), and snow machines are the coolest...I would like one in my house! Just imagine...cooking or cleaning with a gentle falling of evaporating snow...how picturesque. The soloists were fabulous, the set was gorgeous and the choir was awesome...I think some pics may be in order here...

Hmmm, A deeper look into me right now would tell you this...I missed singing in the Christmas production... although the fun thing is that I got to bring a few people with me and just enjoy watching this year. I did have a blast filming it on Monday night...so tempting for Kevin Pierce and I to do a "director's cut commentary", but we refrained...funny stuff, people...funny stuff! I felt as though Christmas season had finally arrived (even though my tree has been up for quite some time, now) Infact, I felt the need to express my festive outlook in a very festive festivus festivy sort of way....Now if antlers and a flashing red nose don't do the trick...then what does?

I was quite fond of the set this year, good pick on the white Martha Stewart trees Blaine, so I thought that it would be fun to utilize the backdrop for some romantic pictures. This is one of them...pretty nice, eh? I like it quite a bit...

Anything you want to hear about? Any details of the production? Comment and I shall answer or create an answer with my over-active imagination...could be fun...
