This Saturday we went downtown for our own family Christmas Tradition - Merry Tuba Christmas. Here in Baltimore it is held at Harborplace mall - right on the inner harbor, out in the elements. It can get quite cold with the wind, so it's a good thing there is no seating for the crowd. We all cram together and stay as warm as possible.
The official count for the tubas was 175 musicians. They didn't count the crowd... but it had a good turnout. Jamie was particularly happy to see a few dogs enjoying the music, too. Both kids were surprised to hear the Constellation fire a cannon at 4 pm. (Someday we will take them on a fieldtrip to that ship!) We were all happy to get back to the car, though, in order to warm up!
To round out our family day we all ate soup (it's hard to beat tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches!) and watched Christmas videos... and ate up a lot of our Christmas cookies!

Actually, we play around a lot with the sandwich ingredients. This time we used mozzarella and put some pepperoni in the middle. It was very good!
I miss tuba Christmas!
Do you remember the "Santa Wants a Tuba for Christmas" song?
I found an mp3 of it at http://www.noradsanta.org/en/downloads/14-Santa%20Wants%20A%20Tuba%20For%20Christmas.mp3
