The month of December has, as usual, been filled with a wide variety of festive activities. I get to attend all three of the Christmas parades, along with band performances, plays, an ATV parade, and the task of getting photos of lighted Christmas decorations on homes. For the most part it helps maintain the holiday spirit from a few days after Thanksgiving through to the Big Day itself. With a mere six days left before we head to the Great White North, I am trying to tie up as many loose ends as possible, and gather as much content as I can for my paper while I am incommunicado. Which hopefully will allow for a bit of shopping later this week, or at least some time for me to think of something I need, that could be put on my wife's Christmas list for me.
Speaking of "Incommunicado", a fine song by my musical minister, Jimmy Buffett. The title of this post states "Merry Christmas to You" in Hawaiian, a song written in 1949 by Robert Alexander Anderson and made popular by Bing Crosby in 1950. However I have to say the 1996 version by Jimmy, on his Christmas Island CD seems to be more authentic.
I mention this because Sheila was able to insert a bit of Buffett into her lesson plan with that tune, along with two performances of "Feliz Navidad". Tommorow night we head off to her school's Christmas party, which will involve karoake, mexican food and a few libations, maybe even a bit of "Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum"
