We're having a COLD spell here. Didn't I just say something about how nice it was? Well today is sunny, but at 11:30 in the morning it's 39 degrees. That's chilly for us. But it does make it feel like the holidays are near. I'm not usually one to shop early, and this year is no exception. But with the stores open late at night, and so many stores now open in Brentwood, I think I'll avoid the crowds by shopping at night. A friend and I tested that theory just the other day and it does seem to hold true. People tend to do their shopping earlier in the day. But I have a feeling if I wait too much longer, I'll be joined by a lot of other last minute shoppers. So this week, with lists in hand, I'll be heading to the shops.
Have you gotten your Toys for Tots gifts? There are barrels everywhere and they are really needed this year or so many kids will be disappointed. Summerset veterans club have been collecting this year and they are having their pizza party tomorrow, December 9th. Bring your toy there and have a slice of pizza. If you can't get to Summerset III, be sure to bring your unwrapped gift to a barrel in your area so toys can be delivered to the children once again this year.
It's also a busy time for the Summerset Singers. We sang for the residents of Cortona Park last week. Today the SIRS are having their Christmas lunch, and we'll be entertaining them at Nines Restaurant. Thursday we'll be singing at Summerset I for the Social Club luncheon. Our own Christmas party is on the 14th at Summerset IV. The food is ordered, decorations have been procured for my Hanukkah table, and there is a group handling our entertainment. Then one more concert at Summerset IV - Carols by Candlelight. And before you know it we'll be having our Christmas dinners with friends and relatives.
If I don't see you before that, I wish you a very happy holiday. I'll be thinking of all of you as I light my Hanukkah candles.
