1. White Christmas - I am not sure if I mentioned that one of my wife’s favorite Christmas rituals is that of watching “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby in black and white.  We do this every year.  Every year.  THIS year, there’s a big musical production of it at the Wang theater downtown.  So we’re going tonight.  I don’t think we’ll have all that much extra time - I had wanted to have a nice dinner downtown but I think we’ll run out of time.  Maybe we will have a nice desert somewhere special afterwards.
2. Swimming lessons - this is the last swimming lesson of the term and they won’t really learn anything - its really more for fun. And they encourage the parents to come and go swimming too.  At 8am I mostly don’t feel like going swimming.  So I will still probably sit on the side and watch them enjoy themselves.
3. Christmas Tree - gotta get the xmas tree on Saturday after the kids go swimming but before lunch.  There’s a farm up in Georgetown or Boxford where we like to cut our own tree.  I kind of think that they’re running out of good trees so we may go somewhere else, but in any case we HAVE to get the tree this weekend.
4. Caroling - Gabriel’s cub scout pack is going caroling on Saturday at 2pm.  He’s not actually all that excited about it and would prefer not to go.  But I want to go and so do the girls. So we’re making him come along.  He can be a stick in the mud.  Its a good thing that he has us to save him from himself!

I think that’s it.  Sunday looks wide open.  And it will be nice to have a little quiet time.  Its been a busy week and I’m looking forward to some quiet activities at home.  Sleepy activities.
