Christmas Concert

The annual Christmas Concert at Carolina Preserves was held this past weekend.  Aloma
sings in two concerts a year and has been practicing for this concert since August.  The music
was beautiful. Even though the average age of the singers is about 65, they have a talented
director who works them hard.  A robust standing ovation followed the final song. At a cast
party yesterday, the director was so pleased and said how proud she was of everyone.


The Carolina Preserve Dancers performed to lively songs from “Grease” and also got loud
cheers from the sell-out audience of about 200 people.  It was a great evening.


Before the concert, I hosted 15 people in our small house for drinks and a light supper.  Since
Aloma was preparing for the concert, I was on my on for the party. That makes me nervous.  
But I had lists for my lists, got my shopping done early and cooked BBQ chicken the day
before. Everything was set up an hour before guests arrived.  Everyone seemed to have a good time.


When we got home after the concert, Aloma said, “It smells like a brewery in here.”  I told her
only one beer and two glasses of wine were spilled.


I’m already looking forward to the beautiful Christmas music and entertaining my cousins and
friends next year.
