The True Meaning of Christmas


Last night I attended the Christmas show at Barbie's preschool. There is nothing quite like a performance done by 2, 3 and 4-year-olds. There was lots of waving by the performers, some spontaneous dance moves and one kid just busted out in his own unexpected solo. The young lady in red on the far left took the whole thing very seriously and sang every word of every song, standing very properly. The show started with all of the kids together singing several songs. Then different groups came on stage to perform specific songs. This was the best because for some reason many of the children, rather than going to the front of the risers and walking up them like stairs, chose to climb over the back of the tallest riser. Yes, little girls in their fancy dresses and tights just climbed on up. My other favorite part was after the show. We had punch and cookies and each time I told a little performer that they had done a great job they beamed with a look that said, "I sure did!"

I'm sure Barbie was happy to see you in the audience. It sounds like it lifted your spirits. Did you take Rue dog with you?

Sadly, no- no Rue Dog! It might have been a bit overwhelming to her anyway, so it was probably best she stayed home and guarded the castle!
