MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR, 

and HAPPY Whatever Other Holiday You Celebrate!

For the holidays I am posting some photos I hope you'll enjoy. I confess, the day I went to the Orlando Art Museum's Festival of Trees to hear The Citrus Singers, I was not feeling my best and did not take my usual photos of their stunning trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses. And the Baptist Church's spectacular Singing Trees conflicts with the Christmas concert my choir is giving in Longwood . . . but perhaps that's good, because my photos will be different this year (well, I may snitch one or two from previous years).

Below is a link to my eldest granddaughter's high school chamber choir, performing an a cappella version of "The First Noel." I hope you'll take the time to check them out. They're really good.

I belong to a weekly Crochet Club that meets in our local library. One of the ladies has just completed two extremely complicated crocheted mandalas. Please take the time to appreciate the work that went into them. She plans to use them to make a pillow for the lady who gave her the Mandala pattern book.

I try to avoid the mall - any mall - at the holidays, but this year I made a special trip to photograph the mall tree, as I failed to take pics at the Festival of Trees or the Singing Trees.

The Citrus Singers performed at the Gaylord Palms Resort
and then enjoyed the hotel's annual "Ice" exhibit,
including ice slides.
