9 Lessons + Carols

Yes today was the 9 lessons and carols service. For a few years now i have realised that the title means 9(lessons) + carols rather than 9(lessons + carols). If you'll excuse what might come across as mathematical snobbery, the two are very different, and confusion between them can lead to much disappointment. So eventually i've become used to the fact that it actually means 9 readings, 9 choir anthems, and 5 carols. Still twas good. I've also had to come to terms with the fact that there is no lady called Carol, and she does not do a lot of singing at this time of year. (i know that there are in fact people called Carol, but not not within the above context).

So, less than a week 'til Christmas and im kinda excited. Seems like it's been a long year-but a good one. And the fact that Kat isn't in Peru this year always makes it more exciting! My decorations in my room are already getting annoying. Having almost been decapitated by them twice, i decided to tie them a little higher, however they have still fallen down since! I guess thats just life! My 7 inch Christmas tree is still standing up ok (no euphemism for those with the stranger mind!!)

Anyway think thats enough for one day. Tara!

Thought For the Day: Life is like betting. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you just have fun. But theres always risk involved.
