Traditions Old and New

Family

Celebrating Christmas with Dave and the girls is a wonderful mix of traditions. We decorated the tree with ornaments old and newer. The first Riley hung was one she made way back in 3rd Grade. As Peyton hung the Snoopy ornament we were listening to The Royal Guardsmen’s Snoopy’s Christmas, the music that has accompanied our tree trimming for decades. A brand new tradition is Navajo Tacos for dinner sometime during the season and the David telling how his Lakota neighbor at Standing Rock fed him on Thanksgiving. And there’s Dave, Riley, and Peyton’s Christmas Eve tradition of pizza delivery and a Star Wars marathon, so we watched Rogue One in the local cinema then cuddled up at home to watch Attack of the Clones.  And we got to video chat with Greg, Rachel, and Linus. They told us they too had played Snoopy’s Christmas while trimming their tree. Apparently Linus was very anxious to go to sleep so that he could open presents when he woke up! Merry Christmas, Everyone!

    I was playing Snoopy’s Christmas while wrapping presents. Great minds, they say.

    Can’t go wrong with some Star Wars, good choice.

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
