1. Christmas Concert at St. Patrick
This was a truly divine concert that showcased some
amazing talent. We heard the Long Island Choral Society, the Y Choral Society (a group of heavenly sounding young children and young adults), and the St. Patrick Choir. It was a great and festive way to hear some awesome Christmas music in a great venue for music - St. Patrick's Cathedral! We
heard some very traditional and spiritual music as well as getting to sing along with some well-known classics. And at the end, they turned off all the lights and everyone in the Cathedral lit a candle as we sang Silent Night. It was a truly spiritual and moving concert that left us all in great spirits. And as a little Christmas gift for Dianne, an avid reader of this blog, there is a picture of the evening's program - JOY!2. Gingerbread House Making
One of my friends invited me to attend a Gingerbread House Making Party.
There was some crazy talent there! I'm including pictures of what I considered to be the top 2 structures. The clear winner is the picture on the right - a gingerbread house of the Louvre in Paris. In fairness, the Louvre was a group project!3. Snowing!
I love the snow - it is so calming and purifying. Fresh fallen snow just gives you a feeling of renewal and re
juvenation that is unparalleled by any other natural weather occurrence. Of course, with the snow comes the cold and I'm still using my yellow jacket from California that is fine for California winters, but not so much for NY winters where the HIGH on some days is in the teens (and I've been warned that it will get even colder than that!) But for the moment, I'm enjoying watching the white falling from the sky and covering all the concrete and blacktop that is this city!
