Deck the Halls with boughs of...

Final carolling job of the season tonight in the Dean Tavern, Newtongrange.

Hard work but a good night, the partakers of alcohol seemed to have a great time from where I was sitting. We gave them tambourines and jingly bells and with that, the CLANG of money in the metal bucket and a very musical dog made a fine band.

Now for the last few days push before the big day. only 3 presents left to wrap, 2 shifts at the restaurant and 2 family meals in 2 days and then I get to open my presents!

What you see in the background is the ghosts f bandsmen present...
