My family doesn't celebrate Christmas until January 7th (Old Calendar) but I wanted to wish all of my readers who will be celebrating on the 25th a very Merry Christmas!

In the days leading up to Christmas, I always look forward to reading/watching Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". This year, a dear friend gave me a beautiful volume with all five of Dickens' Christmas stories! With the extreme cold weather we are expecting next week, it will be such a comfort to sit by the fire and lose myself in the world of Dickens! 

And speaking of Dickens, here is a video from a Christmas concert my sister and I gave with some friends this week. This is called "Fiddle Like the Dickens!"...it's a medley of fiddle tunes and traditional carols from Dickens' time. I hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
