This was the last My Singing Night of 2023! We’re not meeting on the 28th. 

Some of the things we talked about: tobogganing when we were younger, Newmarket hills and hills of our past, with memories of our dads; Ian’s manger scene menagerie, with a giraffe and a hippo (!) among other animals from Ian's collections; and, Peter and Alison Mohan's Christmas Playlist, such a wide variety of fun music *from which we chose a few and enjoyed with gratitude! 

We ate my homemade Christmas cookies and a little bit of Stollen. 

It was a lovely evening in lovely company.   

I added all of the songs to the public Trinity Singing Night Apple Music Playlist
and the videos to my YouTube playlist


Next My Singing Night is Thursday, January 4th, 2024 at 7:30pm.

Hope to see you there! 

Thank you to Trinity for hosting us!
