The business establishment heretofore known as "Scrooge and Marley"

Saturday night December 8th saw the Gordons make their way again to High Point, NC and the High Point Theatre for a production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". This and the Nutcracker ballet are two of the most endearing holiday performances we enjoy greatly. "A Christmas Carol" at the HPT is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, and local actor Allan Edwards, pictured above as Ebenezer Scrooge, once again played the part splendidly.

The Gordons met our friends Greg and Louise at Giovanni's restaurant in Greensboro (or is it Jamestown?) for yummy Italian fare before going. Chris beat the pants off Kimberly with his Lobster Ravioli kicking her Crab Meat Linguini all about the face and head. Score one for the husband in this round of the "Who Wins?" dinner competition.

Louise had never seen "A Christmas Carol" before. Ever. I don't know who was more excited for her to see it: her or Chris!

"A Christmas Carol" is part of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival at the High Point Theatre, of which the Gordons were once season pass holders; that is until Triad Stage opened up in Greensboro and we switched allegiances. It had been a while since we've been to the High Point Theatre, and it was good to return for such a festive evening.

God bless us, every one.
