Christmas is my favorite time of year!! I love all the lights and decorations – they just make me smile!!
When we were growing up, we went to a fairly small church. We always had a Christmas play and Lisa and I always got the most lines. I wonder why? At any rate, it was the same routine every Saturday up until the play…we would go to the church for practice with curlers in our hair (so our hair would look good for church the next day) and go over all the songs, poems, and lines of the play. Then, the night of the performance came…yikes! I remember it very vividly – I was in the 7th grade and had been playing the clarinet for over a year. I was asked to play Silent Night for the program. Everything was going well, until I got to the part “all is calm; all is bright” and then I squeaked! I just wanted to die right here on the platform!! I tried to recover and stop, but the more I tried, the worse it got! Someone behind the scenes asked Lisa, “Why is she making that noise?” Well, it wasn’t a noise I WANTED to make – believe me!! I can’t remember if I played another verse or not, but that song seemed to last an eternity!! I finished the song and was so very thankful it was over! To this day, Silent Night is NOT on my list of favorite Christmas carols! LOL
