"The Madrigal Dinner is a modern invention based on several Renaissance and Medieval traditions. With each sound of the trumpet fanfare this evening, you will discover Christmas as it was celebrated in the ancient tranditions of Merrie Olde England. As you lift your glass, you will be practicing the same customs that people have enjoyed for hundrends of years in good times and in bad. As we raise our voice in a toast to the meaning of Christmas, we wish you and your family the best of the holiday season, filled with joy and beauty." -- Christmas Madrigal Dinner program
We had a splendid time tonight at the Madrigal Dinner. We dined on a scrumptious meal of chicken, rice, green beans, bread, and salad with a desert of chocolate cake (the good kind) with chocolate frosting and chocolate sauce. The wenches served us warm wassail for us to toast one and all. The music was wonderful and the following pictures, which aren't that great, are the best I could do in a dark room with an old camera. I just kept snapping and holding still until the image was captured which took anywhere from 5 - 10 seconds after I pressed the button. So, I will have better photos when Joey downloads his camera and sends them too me. Until then, enjoy.
