It is the time to celebrate, isn't it? It's the first day of winter, and you know what that means... with the Solstice, comes the knowledge that the days are going to be getting longer again! And I don't know about you, but I'm getting quite eager for more sunlight hours.
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas at this time of year, it is still a time of year when many gatherings of many sorts occurring. And I will blame these gatherings, in part, on my inability to post more on here!
Just last night, after a somewhat anxiety inducing dress rehearsal only 3 hours earlier, Halcyon performed with Tenore (rhymes with "Amore" and not to be confused with Il Divo) - If you are looking for some Christmas Music to help you get into the season, this group might be just up your alley. Check out their website here. One reason to celebrate? While there were technical difficulties at the opening of the show, Halcyon was able to step up and help out, performing one of our favourite choruses from the Messiah, "And the Glory of the Lord". While we weren't supposed to do it until the beginning of the second half, we ended up replacing THAT with one of MY favourite Messiah Choruses, "For Unto Us A Child is Born." Page 62 is the best! And while the technical difficulties early on had a few people tied up in knots, it ultimately ended up (to me anyway) making it easier to relax. Sometimes that's the beauty of live performances. For the audience, it helps to humanize the performers. And sometimes you get a few laughs out of it too!
Afterward, I hit Brewsters with a few friends from the choir and had a nice, relaxed visit with shared sensibilities. As they say, all good things must come to an end, and at midnight I was still pulling work together for a client meeting for this morning with Brittany and Andrew. I always appreciate it when clients have considered what they want for their wedding photography ahead of time, and with a few months to spare, this young couple know what they want and know the value in hiring a professional. Plus, Brittany is also a former member of Halcyon!
Another reason to celebrate? I received my Square reader today! What does that mean for you, dear reader? It means that I am now able to accept Credit Cards for Payments, Visa, Mastercard and Amex!
And finally, with only 4 more sleeps til Christmas, it is the time of year when we actually spend quality time together. And regardless of your beliefs, quality time with family is always a good thing.
So it's your turn: What will you be celebrating in the coming days?
