- A little bit of shopping - mostly online with a severely curtailed gift list.
- Sewing like crazy - items for church bazaar.
- Frantically making a renaissance costume for Ben's Christmas Madrigal choir concert -- it should be done this weekend -- must be done this weekend the concert is the 16th!
- Parties - after several years of no parties, suddenly four are on my calendar -- two down, two to go.
- Ben's Christmas band concert (tonight) it was wonderful. Ben played the plastic bag and a sheet of red poster board. (Here wearing "A. Eagle" hoodie and playing plastic bag percussion.)
- Ben's Christmas Choir concert.
- Community service - packing food baskets -- they were willing and fast workers -- and then they got to eat some of the leftovers!
- 
- "Adopting" a family through "Least of These" and shopping for gifts.
- Planning Christmas menu.
- And ta-da! getting our family Christmas present early -- Ben set it up and it works!

Christmas Run-up
I retired as a technical writer years ago. Since then I've spent my time reading, writing, rabble-rousing and raising my two orphaned grandsons. Because they are now grown, I still spend time reading, writing, quilting, playing bridge, and in advocacy for many causes. Don't get me started on politics. My day-to-day life is fairly quiet, but my fantasy life is soaring, and I take mental excursions almost as good as the real thing.
