Ethan and Ehlana:
We’ve been very busy since our last update. Dinner at Naomi’s was great; we had a good last practice for the teen praise team for the show on Sunday evening; and then the co-ed sleepover was awesome too. We had some music fun; watched a Christmas movie; and enjoyed the teen chat time. We stayed up too late too, but the fun was worth it. Tai Chi this morning was indoors, but it warmed up into the fifties this afternoon; and we enjoyed some outdoor time with our friends – a bit of biking and hanging out at the park. That was after our school day – though we really just had a play day with holiday fun this morning and then we spent the afternoon at the church for the seniors’ Christmas luncheon. We were there with the school band and also played two Naomi and the Holiday Harmonies songs; and enjoyed sharing our talents with some of our favorite seniors.
We finished up the music play time and had the band gear back at the school in time for the end of the school day; did the biking and outdoor play time thing after that; and then Ehlana and I hosted our four best friends for dinner, studying, and music play time. Mom was home from the city by lunchtime; we helped her out with a pasta and sides dinner – including the clean-up; and then our evening play time included a group Magi lesson along with the studying and music practice. We had fun with all of that; went out for a walk with Silkie while seeing Naomi and Aiden to their homes; and have been winding down toward nap time since then with the usual computer checks and twin chat. It is getting late again; so let’s keep the world news update short and then we’ll call it a night.
There isn’t really any news from Ukraine or the Middle East, but President Trump is apparently planning on an oil embargo against Venezuela – and economic act of war that would be dangerous if Venezuela had the military power to fight back. They don’t, but our country and military look like a bully, and if we actually enforce that embargo; it will only hurt the normal people of Venezuela and likely affect global oil prices. Seizing tankers is flat-out theft; and that will just continue to erode global trust in our country if there is any trust left at all.
That’s enough for today. Our Christmas music video pick of the day has been a favorite for a while now; and we hope that you’ll enjoy it too while we move on and get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day; so we’ll get as much sleep as we can to be ready for the next blasts of holiday adventures.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
