Especially today… At least it’s sunny – that always helps. Glad to hear your snow is melting away. I love “Sing we now of Christmas” – always reminds me of a madrigals in high school. Organ and Bass sounds interesting… Would have loved to have heard that. Definitely missing the Christmas music over here, but we’ve got a few classics on our computers that we rotate sparingly- so as not to get too sick of them too quickly We’ll be having a multi-religious holiday season this year. On New Years eve we’re going to Odaesan National Park to the Woljeongsa Buddhist Temple for a “Temple stay”. We’ll learn about buddhism and the meaning behind their practices and the temple elements – and participate in the daily rituals of the monks studying there. Should be an interesting experience. All we know is we’ll be bowing 108 times at 4 in the morning and doing some intense hiking. (Told us to bring Crampons!) Should be memorable. Kate’s sister will be here for it – we’re giving here a big shot of Asian culture in 10 days
Love,
Chad

Today it is melting some with 38 degrees so happy for that.
Had a nice church service this a.m. with the christmas carols and our anthem “Sing we now of Christmas” which went well. Then Grandpa and our new music director played a wonderful offertory-duet with organ and string bass.
Titled Veni, Emmanuel…….very nice.
Off to a movie this afternoon.
Love, Grandma and Grandpa J.
