Sun 15 Dec

Ready to hit the ground running this week. I have to make sure I can take my 3 funeral days non-consecutively, because I'd like to use one on Monday and the other two Thursday/Friday. I need to contact Social Security, probate, florist, etc. on Monday, but want to arrange other things on Thurs and the funeral on Fri. I really don't want to do Christmas next weekend, partially because it means a greater rush to get ready while also doing funeral planning and partially because it doesn't feel right to anticipate the holiday. Remind me why it wouldn't work for you to come for actual Christmas Eve/Day? Do you still plan to look into music for the funeral service? I can do this if you don't have access to music resources, or work with Mary or Deb to choose some things so it's okay, but if you'd like to do it, that's cool too. I do think we'll try to incorporate "Each Winter as the Year Grows Older"; I like that idea. If you just want to shoot some other thoughts my way, that's great too.
