One week until Christmas day. A week from tomorrow, my gang and I will be flying to Orlando for New Years. We plan to visit Disney World parks for a few days. We will also be attending an NFL football game in Tampa Bay on New Years Eve...another pro sport experience checked off my bucket list.
December has been the usual string of Christmas events. I attended the Joy of Vox concert on December 7. On December 10, I attended my ballroom dance Christmas party. My job has been to teach a line dance to the class at every Christmas party and year end party. I taught the class how to do "the electric slide", a dance I learned in Yuma last January. It's a classic. I downloaded Alan Jackson's "Honky Tonk Christmas" and I wore the cowboy boots I bought in Nashville. We were stepping and touching and scuffing, and grapevining like there was no tomorrow. Haley and Dustin had a housewarming party on December 9. They certainly have surrounded themselves with great friends and the part I like the best is their friends are my friends. Last Wednesday, I had turkey twice. At noon, I attended the Superannuated Teachers Christmas banquet at the WDM, then I returned to the WDM for the Plus 60 Christmas Party for more turkey. The meal was followed with a dance(live music). I even won a door prize! On Friday night, I had the privilege of carving turkey and serving over 30 youth at The Bridge, a street ministry on 20th Street. On Saturday, my neighbors hosted a neighbourhood Christmas party and on Sunday morning I was back to carving and serving turkey at The Rock, another outreach church on 20th Street...another beautiful and meaningful experience. Today, I had an average day. That is to say, I played volleyball at 9:30, prepared a salad for the volleyball Christmas party, and led a Christmas sing song with my guitar. After the Christmas party, I played hockey at 1:00pm.
Life is still good. Merry Christmas to all.
