Grace Cathedral: A Cathedral Christmas

Continuing a tradition of sixty one years, Grace Cathedral presents their annual holiday series with the Grace Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys, accompanied by full orchestra and their world-famous Aeolian-Skinner organ.

The program will include sacred Christmas masterpieces, classical Yuletide songs, and sing-along carols.

The Grace Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys is modeled after the 500-year-old tradition of English choirs and one of only a few of its kind in North America. Amid the soaring arches and luminous stained glass of gothic Grace Cathedral, the choir's sound is truly timeless.

My mom, sister and I are going to be going on December 14th to listen and hopefully sing along :) I heart Christmas!

Most expensive shoes

Harry Winston’s Ruby Slippers
$3 million

While the original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland were made with sequins, these spectacular slippers designed by Ronald Winston of the House of Harry Winston to mark the classic movie’s fiftieth anniversary used real rubies. The slippers include 4,600 rubies totaling 1,350 carats (as well as 50 carats of diamonds) which took craftsman Javiar Barerra two months to set. Made in 1989, the world’s most expensive shoes were still on sale in 2000.

NICE (in Borat's voice)!

Tis the season for giving

"...and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."

December 23rd, my mama, sis and I are volunteering in the dining hall at the Redwood Gospel Mission. We are going to be greeting, serving, bussing, etc...

Thousands of people will be coming to eat a yummy Christmas meal, and it feels good to help people fill their tummies especially this time of year.

Happy Holidays!

Coffee

Does the fact that I drink decaffeinated coffee every morning (m - f) make me a coffee drinker? Or am I just trying to fit in... trying to be one of the cool kids. It becomes a ritual. Come into work. turn on computer. download emails. take a phone call. Coffee at Sebastopol Cookie Co. repeat the next day, and the one after that...

How could I break the cycle? Why would I break the cycle?

Just a thought ;)

Weekend
