I absolutely love the 12 days of Christmas. The pressure to buy gifts and put up the decorations, and get to all the relatives and have the house ready to receive family and friends has basically wound down. It’s time to relax, and enjoy the world’s most celebrated birthday. As an anglocatholicmethidobapticostal I find the whole denominational arguments as superfluous as whether UPS or the US postal service has delivered my Amazon order to my porch. But I do love the liturgical calendar and how it creates the ability to focus on the year in a meaningful way. Today is most likely the last client delivery for the year so I went with a fifth day of Christmas theme and even wore a green flat cap gifted to me by the sons of my deceased best buddy Timmy. White shirt, green silk and linen V neck, wool tartan tie, Burgundy cotton blazer, Grey flannel pants, tan Indy Boots, green faced Borealis watch. I am saddened for those who miss out on Christmastide and pull their stuff down the day after only the first of 12. For my wife and I who lived in Germany and travelled to the Tyrollean areas of Germany and Switzerland and Italy for decades we can finally take a breather and enjoy all the wooden nicknacks that remind us of our travels. More importantly we can sing all the songs in anticipation of the magi’s arrival. I just hope she doesn’t expect. 🎼 FIVE GOLDEN RINGS😳

Busy Monday today. It’s going to be cold with a chance of rain. OOTD Blue dress shirt Black dress pants (thermals under) Forest green quarter zip Black Anson belt Black boots And Navy rain coat just incase.

So I downloaded a new app yesterday called Stylebook for Men. You upload photos of you clothing, accessories, shoes and everything you wear. You log each time you wear something and then you have a running tally of what you do and dont wear and how often. You can put in the values for stuff and get the ROI of every piece. I have done all my M.J. Bale Suits, CT SHirts and then a few other bits and pieces. I still have a lot to go though. You log each suit piece separately so that you can mix and match your trousers or Jackets with other clothing, it is such an awesome little app. I even added the soon to be here Velvet JAcket and had the app put my a couple of outfits together. I may pack one for a road trip I am doing soon to go see a mate I meet the day we both joined the Navy on 2 August 1993. I great mate and still close friend. Anyway, I will keep you updated and see how i go. I want to add all my clothes before 1 Jan so I can start the year of tracking them.
