dream, dream, dream

long day today. was not feeling well so got up late, have a cold and a bit of a sore throat.

i like Christmas holidays because they have no agenda... there is nothing specific that i need to accomplish. i learned how to purl (as in knit and purl) the other day, and today i accomplished the task of learning how to knit cables and spent the day designing a scarf and getting that started. it is turning out pretty nice, and is a lovely shade of light blue.

my housemate rachel called and we had a nice chat despite the constant interruptions of family on both sides of the phoneline, and arranged that i will take the bus down to edmonton and will stay overnight there on the 2nd of january and then we'll drive back to school with a girl from Alaska on the 3rd. we'll be early back but it will be nice to have the house to ourselves and get things in order and settled back in before everyone else gets back. and hopefully i can get a couple of assignments started.

so, yes, nothing too exciting going on in my life these holiday days and that is just fine. : )

btw, december 26th in Canada is called "Boxing Day," it is traditionally the day where you boxed up your leftovers for the poor but has now evolved into Canada's biggest shopping day, similar to the day after Thanksgiving in the US i'm told.

now, for a lovely hymn, wish i could post the music for you. it is a lullaby that lulls me to sleep tonight...

Still, still, still.
The night is cold and chill!
The virgin's tender arms enfolding,
Warm and safe the Christ child holding.
Still, still, still,
The night is cold and chill.

Dream, dream, dream.
He sleeps, the Savior King.
While guardian angels watch beside Him,
Mary tenderly will guide Him.
Dream, dream, dream.
He sleeps, the Savior King.
- Still Still Still, German Hymn
