Here it is, 8:00 AM on the U. S. East Coast and nobody has yet started a Sunday thread. Are we losing interest?
"Black Friday" was the day after Thanksgiving, and "Cyber Monday" is tomorrow. Does anyone else think these are made-up "Hallmark Holidays?" I can't remember when - if ever - I made a big deal out of buying stuff on either of those days. The few times I've looked, I wasn't interested in what was being offered up, and those items I found mildly interesting were either already sold out, or weren't such a great deal, anyway.
We now begin the Christmas season. Having been invited to bring my guitar along to the family Christmas gathering, I'm already preparing some songs the grandkids can sing along to. I will say with some satisfaction, that I have augmented an instrumental version of "Silent Night" I started working on last Christmas. I'll probably use it some time during a quiet period (probably when everyone is nodding off after eating too much!).
Onward and upward. This has been a rotten year for all of us, yet I still found many things to be thankful for. Among them, is this rich community of people with a shared affection and (mostly) civil tongues.
