... but sometimes reinventing the wheel is a good thing.

I was catching up on stuff on the BUS facebook page first thing this morning (how sad is that?) and spotted a reference to 'beer and carols' which was perceived as really radical by the person posting.  To be fair, contextually, it probably is - but it's also a reinvention of the wheel, something we did annually when I lived in Leicestershire, and it wasn't totally novel even then.

A quick look online and I am pleased to see that 'Sing Christmas 2013' will take place on Monday 23rd December at 7 p.m.  I am minded to give my house a blitz, link up via internet and invite some folk round to participate in it (so long as they can cope with 'in jokes' for Leicestershire).  Have to admit to being disappointed that it looks as if Dibley are not hosting this year, epseically as they now own an ideal venue, but maybe they are doing new and exciting things I know nothing about.

One step removed, but in a similar vein, our Coffee Club will be carolling in our local Wetherspoon's Pub to raise money for their chosen charity (CLIC Sargeant) ahead of our Christmas Dinner there - can't wait!
