Happy Christmas

'Tis the season to have at least two chorale performances every day. Today there are four! And it's pretty great. We just started performances on Friday, and already it seems like there have been so many of them. Probably because there have been. Some of the highlights so far...

• Arriving at a performance half an hour early
  
• Getting lost on the way to a performance, and arriving late
• Singing at my grandparent's ward Christmas party, and getting to introduce all my friends to them
• Recognizing some of the people at various old folk's homes from last year
• Changing seven times in one day (pajamas to normal clothes, normal clothes to a'capella dress, a'capella dress to chorale dress, chorale dress to gym shorts, gym shorts to chorale dress, chorale dress to a'capella dress, and a'capella dress to pajamas)
• Having various items of clothing (belonging to me) spread out between two cars, the seminary building, and my person
• Changing from one floor length dress to another in the back seat of a car, with lots of people milling about the car (that was an adventure)
• Seeing the sweet, toothless little old lady on the front row crying as we sing, because she loved it so much
• Dancing with a sassy kindergartener
• Having my pearl necklace break the first time I wear it! Grr. But it hasn't broken for quite a while now!
• Skipping around parking garages
• Dancing in the aisles of Whole Foods Market
• "A few fond embraces." That's a line from one of our songs, and also an excuse to creepily hug people
• Seeing a'capella's drastic improvement between their performance in the middle of the day and their performance at night today
  
• Bacon...if you know what I mean...which you don't, but I think it's funny
  

And so far it's just been four days of performances! I'm quite looking forward to the rest of them. It'll be a partay. Not just a party; we're so cool we get an extra vowel!
