Possibly the simplest formula around, and I am looking forward to it.

Today our Coffee Club meet around the piano to do carol-oake... picking carols to be sung - and to sup tea/coffee and maybe munch the odd treat.  O Latte Town of Bethlehem maybe?  There may be a few more awful alternatives if someone has the brain to spot them.

It will be a good morning, an important morning, as last week we had to postpone lunch due to the ice-on-snow-on-ice (the good news is the restaurant were fine about it and even relieved as their staff were struggling to get in; come Jnauary we have a treat to anticipate).  Some of these folk have not been able to get out much in the last week or two, and if the met. office are right we have more snow on its way.

Simply let the songs tell the story, let laughter fiull the air, let the warmth of friendship wrap us round... and the mystery of Christmas, albeit sneaking into Advent, will occur.

Great excuse to don the tinsel methinks.
