We’re going to a choir concert tonight, figgy pudding and all, and then will cross our fingers for some sleeping in on Saturday morning before the weekend begins in earnest. Rain is in the forecast, so it also seems a good time to finish decorating the tree and to watch a movie with the kids.
We’re also looking forward to spending some time with friends, toasting to the start of the season!
Hope you have something fun planned! Some links for the downtime…
