Christmas Programs...

I only remember one 'Christmas' play at school. It was in the first or second grade. Our class had to memorize the poem, Twas the Night Before Christmas. I thought it was a big deal. I had no special part to play in it but I remember the 'buzz' we felt and the excitement.

Now at Church that was a different story. From the moment memories could be made I was involved in the Church Christmas Program.

I have been a singing sheep, donkey. Ive sang about puppies and How you get to heaven, it's not with roller skates by the way.

I guess being a pastors kid, you had to be in the programs, and being the 'ham' I was I ate it up.

My daughter is now in programs, she is almost 'aging out' of them. But I think she shares in the memories I have of being part of the team, the group, and having a goal of learning something and doing your best to present it.
