It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

announcements, Friday Favorites, schedule
Finishing up plans for Christmas. Our Spectacular Spectacular is going to be the morning of December 13 - both services.We start rehearsing on September 16. I start charting next week. And I can already tell it's going to be one of those services, that is WAY out of my control.I was sifting through music (my iTunes library has over 16,000 tunes in it . . . ) and a friend walked in today, and let me hear a song, not knowing that I was planning Christmas, and WHAMMO . . . there it was. I continue to be amazed at…
