Sharyn's Christmas 'drinkies' were very convivial and animated and only turned silent when I brought in my button accordion to play 'Silent Night, Holy Night'. After the first verse everyone joined in. "Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright."
We are back at "Riverbend" now with our guests, Johan and Angelica, and about to "sleep in heavenly peace".
