Christmas
I figure since I put this URL in the Christmas letter we sent out, I really should go and post something to it once in a while (or at least once)...
Well, we've survived another Christmas gathering done at our house. We had family of different combinations visiting (and staying overnight) from Thursday until Sunday. It was nice to see the family again, exchange gifts, and enjoy each other's company.
Also, the telecast of the Augsburg Advent Vespers service performance I was in early this month was aired a few times over the course of last week. It was a nicely-done compilation of several of the pieces we performed. It didn't quite have the same flow and continuity of the complete service, but when you condense a 1:30 event to fit in an hour-long TV program, it is necessary to leave out some elements. If you missed the broadcast, it's possible to order DVDs from the Augsburg music department. Information can be found here.
As for Christmas gifts, I received several nice ones. My wife got me a portrait grip for my Canon 20D SLR camera. The kids gave me a tripod. My in-laws gave me a cool device that can charge a car or pump up its tires and is portable and rechargeable (we've been using Al's, and I've been wanting one of our own). I also got some DVDs from my Amazon wish list, and so on.
