Tea for Four

I went to tea at The Drake today with Kathy, Bev and Shayna. It was lovely.

The Drake was decorated for Christmas with a huge tree in the lobby and a really cool gingerbread house with a train running through it. There were poinsettias and lights everywhere, and the fountain where the tearoom is was beautifully lit and everything was very festive.

The only problem was that it was very crowded and LOUD and we sat next to the harpist, which sucked because she played LOUD (all that plucking was really annoying) and then CAROLERS dressed in Victorian attire came around and it was altogether too much Christmas for me.

I mean, shut those carolers up! What a rotten gig, going from table to table, singing Christmas carols. Probably voice majors from any one of the many universities in the area; sucky gig for them! They kept coming back to our table and I wanted to throw money at them to make them go away, but I didn't.

Oh, bah humbug!
