st_martin_aTwo more days of school and then I break up for the Christmas holidays. It's been a busy week and I've been caught up most evenings with stuff like parents evenings (for my own kids and students at my school) and nativity rehearsals and things like that. Non-stop.
Sunday night was one of my favourite evenings of the year. Very peaceful. 'Carols by Candlelight' at my church - candles everywhere, Christmas carols and poetry. Some friends also performed a version of the nativity story in the local Backcountry accent. It was done in a humorous way, bordering on the irreverent, but it made the point that Mary and Joseph were probably working-class people and that the Christmas story is a gritty one.
I also managed to watch a documentary on Kurt Cobain. Absolutely fascinating. Very similar story to Sid and Nancy although there were claims that Courtney Love may have killed Kurt... ?!
Crazy world.
