Wigilia Eve 2021
The girls did some baking — peppermint chocolate chip cookies, which are absolutely amazing.
The neighbors did some caroling.
And I did some Photoshopping.

Jasełka 2021
It was to be his biggest performance yet: the Boy was set to play "Przybieżeli do Betlejem" on his guitar for this year's jasełka performance.
His guitar teacher had been working with him on the piece; he'd been practicing it at home (with some encouragement, it must be admitted); he was ready.
And then the amp would not cooperate. No sound. At all. The adults thought fast, put a mic in front of the guitar, and the Boy was off. He was disappointed, but pleased with not giving up.
"It's what Tommy would have done," I reminded him, referring to our hero Tommy Emmanuel, who plays no matter what. Technical difficulties? Guitar issues? Venue problems? Nothing stops Tommy.
"Yeah, I guess."

The beets are starting to work their fermentation magic for barszcz z uszkami. And the first baking (though not strictly for Christmas) is done.
