Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled

I have all the songs we sang during the concert rolling around in my head. Pleasant as that is, it's getting annoying, so I'll have to drown them out soon. And I know exactly how.

Busy, busy day. Not sure if this qualifies as my best birthday ever, but if it doesn't, I can't think of a better one right now.

• woke up, geeked a bit, puttered
  
• drove 45 min to Cumberland through a &%$@ Winter Wonderland
  
• got to Cumberland Heritage Museum, did the final Christmas concert with 5 other choirs
  
• drove back
  
• helped clean a bit (Chris and the boys had already swept and mopped the bottom floor)
  
• helped with sushi preparation
  
• Mom and Guy showed up
  
• kept helping with sushi preparation
  
• unwrapped a few presents
  
• ate sushi, had port, sake, and white wine (no idea why none of this intoxicated me in the least, as I normally get tipsy on one glass)
  
• unwrapped a few more presents
  
• said goodbye to Mom and Guy
  
• put dishes and food away, Chris put boys away
  
• updated lj
  
• going to wake up Chris
  

Birthday presents: track pants and sweatshirt, massive cheque from Mom and Guy, H:LOTS Season 3 DVDs from boys (EEEEEEEEEE!!!), latest Sting CD & Palm Pilot (!!!) and sushi dinner from Chris.

Later Edit: For those of you whom I completely confused with this yesterday, I'm sorry! My actual birthdate is December 23, but I don't think I've celebrated on that day more than twice in my life. It's too close to Christmas - everybody's either gone for the holidays, or too frazzled to be able to come to a birthday party. So thank you for the Happy Birthdays!
