I have made it through another Christmas pageant. Damn is it long and boring! My kids were adorable in their costumes of course, singing "Jesus our brother kind and good." But the cute lamb and shepherd can only tide you over for so long - their song is in the first five minutes of the show. J remarked that Gabriel, the angel was not an angel but a person and that the kids blowing through golden lattice cones were not really blowing music. When I told him that in a few years the twins would be lambs he said "They will not want to do that."Very astute. Baby Jesus looked like he was big enough to walk away this year. Alas, as "un" into Jesus as I am, I do like traditions. I looked at the 8th graders (all with scintillating mute roles) and felt old, I remember when they were three year old lambs.
This just in- a note I found that M left laying around "I wish I could have whatevre I wanted when I wanted it." Join the club my friend.
