The concerts are fabulous but I don't think my 13 year old has ever sang a carol. In fact the little one chose to colour in a menorah over a Xmas tree at school the other day. Theyre all very confused!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452466976081063843.post-62460496298017989132008-12-12T09:51:00.000+00:002008-12-12T09:51:00.000+00:00Yeah......

I went to the first school play where the oldest grandchild danced in the chorus of stars..... 2 shepherds lost their tea towel head coverings which added to the general enjoyment. (Not laughing at them..... no one seemed to mind)<BR/>Monday my youngest granddaughter (nursery age) is also in the chorus of stars..... Looking forward to that!<BR/>This is what Christmas is really about.... children and Nativities......Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452466976081063843.post-12299022184892461762008-12-11T20:58:00.000+00:002008-12-11T20:58:00.000+00:00I empathized with the BIGGEST girl ...And the subw...I empathized with the BIGGEST girl ...<BR/><BR/>And the subway entrance may look like its dark down there but its not .. its BRIGHT and NOISY and has LOTS of people of all shapes, sizes and colors running hither and yon.

Though the papers spoilt it today saying that the big star in the East was probably Jupiter colliding with another star and it took place in June, in which case Christmas should be on 17 June!!
