Max's Holiday Program

Tis the season for lots, and lots, and lots of Christmas programs. The first in a our long run took place on Monday. Yeah, I'm a little behind. Max's school program was Monday, and he was glorious. Wide-mouthed singing, full-out actions- the kid was a sight to behold. I love kindergartners because they get really into it. There's no self-consciousness or holding back. They are in it to win it, and Max won. Until he fell off the risers, that is. Luckily for him, he recovered gracefully.

The songs were... um... interesting. There was a Hanukkah number and a song about how us parents should spend more time with our kids. I kid you not. The rest of the songs were about non-offensive winter topics. No Christ laying in a manger for this crowd. They sang a song about snow pants that featured grand arm motions, and I was a little surprised (and perversely disappointed) no one got taken out during the number). The big show stopper was a diddy called "Snow Cow". I'm still not sure what it was about, but the kids were definitely feeling it.

It was sweet. It was also mercifully short. We'll be back next year.
