Moms earn their angel wings during the Christmas season, I am sure. The Christmas card photo and letter, presents for everyone, decorating the house and the yard, cookie exchanges, school parties, church parties, neighborhood parties, parties for hubby's work, old friends parties, etc., definitely require an element of organization and prioritization that other seasons just don't demand.
One thing that really puts me in the holiday spirit is watching school aged kids perform at their Christmas concerts. There is nothing more nostalgic to me than hearing old favorite songs being sung by children! This season, I was privileged enough to attend two. Our 11 year old, Ross, sang with the 6th grade choir at this week's chapel at school. Ross is our child of few words, so he mentioned this casually to me on the night before the performance (thankfully, his choir teacher had already sent an email). He requested that I go and video the whole shebang for his dad, who was in NYC this week. They did a beautiful job! Here is one song for you:
Our 3 year old, Emmy, had a "Christmas show" at her preschool last night. Now, when you watch this video, you will very clearly see the difference in the 3 enthusiastic year olds and the calm, cool, collected 6th graders!! You just can't help but smile when you watch and hear this old favorite!!!
