Discussion»Questions»Holidays» I am going to a Christmas Eve breakfast Sunday. It will be held in the home of a Sai Baba Center member. What are you doing?
I know it's off subject, but this really made me hungry for lamb chops. It's on my shopping list that I never remember to carry with me when I go shopping. Well. Maybe I'll remember it.
It's a friend's birthday. She doesn't have anyone so I'm trying to figure out what to do with her on a day that won't have much happening in this neck of the woods. Maybe I'll do the Jew thing my family used to do when I was a very small child, and take her out for Chinese!
Ari and I are atheists. We prefer to celebrate the down-under Summer Solstice by rising at 4.15, making a cup of tea, and going out to sit in deck chairs on the hillside, listen to the dawn chorus of bird song and watch gloaming sky as the sun rises. On Christmas morning, I'll go out for a ride on Surabhi, starting around 6 and finishing just before the heat hits at around 9. The advantage will be no motorbikes, buses on trucks, one of the two days of the year when its safe for a horse on the sides of the roads. Mid-morning, our friend Jayavinda has invited us with a bunch of others to brunch. His place perches like an eagle's nest high up on Bald Mountain. It has exqusite sweeping views of Wollumbin Mountain - which looks like Ganesha taking a nap - and the entire Tweed Valley. It's up at about 1,000 metres so one gets an exquisite ozone high. He and his clique or chanters and meditators are mostly Buddhists or Hindus, a few of them Sai Baba devotees.
Hope you have a great day and a happy festive season, Sharonna.
That makes no sense. According to Jewish custom, the day begins at sundown. Christmas eve is the evening before Christmas day. According to American custom, breakfast is the meal taken in the morning. So "Christmas eve breakfast" is just a dum thing to say.
Dum. D-U-M. Dum. It's spherically dum. I mean it's dum any way you look at it.
I don't celebrate Christmas, but on Sundays I have my meeting at the kingdom hall. There will be a public discourse titled "will you escape what awaits this world"? Followed by a bible study publication. After the meeting I spend time with my friends. Usually Mondays are my cleaning day, so I'll spend most of the day doing that.
