I have a 150 year old African Mahogany upright that weighs a million pounds and has an amazing sound - will that do??

Caroling sounds awesome!

I'll pick up the grand in the helicopter the day before. I'll run in and get it while Pooh keeps the motor running!! No need for airport security!

I was going to suggest a “wackiest Christmas pajamas contest”,
but I’m unsure if we are spending the night. Let me know how long you will be able to tolerate us Susanne!

African Mahogany upright will do just fine for caroling. That'll leave Myrt and Pooh free to helicopter last minute guests in who would otherwise be caught in the snowstorm that's gonna drop skaty-eleven inches of snow on Christmas Eve.

As suggested by Donna Lee/zoogirl, the party STARTS today, Christmas Eve. So here we go.

It will be an open house for the next few days - come and go and post as you please and enjoy the goodies and games!

Ok, here's the rundown on the party so far:

Kristen/calico32 is bringing bacon-wrapped scallops

Meme#1 is bringing ribeyes and all types of French cheese for dessert! Don't forget - she booked Jimmy Buffet for our entertainment - mmmm!

mirinblue has been SUPER busy - she is bringing extra scarves and gloves and boots, extra blankets and throws, a mean low carb cranberry pie, and some LC pumpkin bread

boopchick/Debbie is providing deviled eggs and jalapeno poppers

myrt4930 is arriving in her helicopter piloted by her very own Pooh Bear and bringing smoked brisket! I also heard she is picking up peeps on her way!

ForeverLC/JoAnn is providing baked Cod in butter sauce for all. She also wondered if we were doing a white elephant gift exchange?!! She also is bringing a few Christmas movies to watch, starting with "It's a wonderful life"!!

zoogirl/Donna Lee is bringing Yahtzee to play!

ScotiaGirl is bringing lobster. Wow, I adore lobster and ribeyes!!

Maeve is bringing her dear deaf old lady dog with her, a small Christmas tree, pickled fruit (I want to try it!). She also wants everyone to bring cookies for a Christmas cookie exchange!!! Bring your crazy holiday pajamas if you want to stay the night, because Maeve is also having a wackiest Christmas pajama contest!

RobynsNest/Robyn, after midnight mass, will show up with tourtière (meat pies) and ragout de boulette ( pigs nuckles with meat balls stew) served with beet relish, and with ugly sweaters for all. She also booked Elvis as part of our entertainment!

I, WyoDiva/Susanne, also decided to bring in more entertainment, so for your listening pleasure we will also have Prince, David Bowie, Glenn Campbell, and Glenn Frye!!

Bevangel wants to do some Christmas caroling, so she will be accompanying us on my piano!!

QueenBee2 is bringing "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" for us to watch as well!

We have plenty of snow that has arrived in the last few days. Temperature right now is 5F - warmer than it was when I got up this morning (10 below!)

So, we are going to do some sledding and tobogganing too!

We have lots of food, entertainment, games, and activities lined up, so we are going to have a good time. Woot!

Is that my doorbell I hear ringing? I better go answer it!!!

Wait for me, I'm coming!

I'll bring my new size SMALL silk pajama bottoms and my Wonder Woman bra (and a toasty Irish handknit because I'm always chilly). How does some smoked salmon and mooseburgers (to die for, trust me) sound?

And I'll bring my flute! I took some Christmas music to my flute lesson yesterday--my teacher plays classical guitar, so we had fun sight-reading and made plans to make a visit to the old-folks home next year to share the music. So I'm all freshened up and pumped for playing those songs.

I'm in for the caroling as well. Music is one of the best parts of the holiday for me. And board games sound great, too. I'm in, in, in. And any messes to clean up shall be attended to by the elves. Thank you, elves.
