There was a delightful (and not one bit frightful) barbershop quartet at Angie's place recently. The music totally captivated her.
One of my favorite things about Christmas is the music. I have a lot of Christmas pageants, folk choir Christmas masses, and high school holiday concerts in my past. That means I can harmonize to lots of songs and there is nothing I like better than singing along with Garth Brooks to "Silent Night" or to "The First Noel" with Suzy Bogus. If either of them realized how much the addition of my alto part added to their performances they would likely re-record that old Christmas from the 90's CD - and include me of course.
My sister is coming tomorrow. I am going to talk her into singing a Christmas carol with me to post on the blog for the 25th.
I'll just be here waiting for Santa and trying to decide if Mary Ann would prefer to do Hark the Herald Angels Sing or The Little Drummer boy. If this never materializes you know it's because she put the kibosh on it.
Well, that would be a very special holiday treat! The Moss Sisters Duet. Both are favorites of mine, so take your pick...I promise to keep silent.
I'm watching/listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on PBS...very nice!

I'm lovin' the Christmas tree reflected in the wine glass; Merry Christmas!

Please try your hardest to talk Mary Ann in to singing, it would make my Christmas complete to hear you girls singing, truly complete.
Love the tiny upside down tree in your wine glass - I am going to have to switch to white wine to try to capture that.

A CD (for the older folks) with artwork by the SketchWar Sisters would be a runaway hit I'm sure.
btw, do you have The Roches "We Three Kings"? Beautiful harmonies.

Wishing you a beautiful Christmas, and a special time with your family. If you get Mary Ann to sing on video, I'll eat one of my second best watercolors (got new ones from Daniel Smith for Christmas - too intimidated to open the tubes!)...;-)
