Christmas Concert

Last night we went to the Christmas concert put on by the choir at the church we attend. It was simple and refreshingly non-show bizzy, if you know what I mean, and fun. Afterwards, we had a dessert buffet and punch- a simple pleasure of the Season.

The choir director said, "You can clap if it makes you feel good, but we're not here to perform, we are here to convey a message in song." Amen and amen.

This coming Sunday Christopher will be Schroeder and Emily will be Violet in some sort of mini-pageant. They seem to be getting pleasure out of it, so we're glad to have them do it.

We've attended many and various churches over the years. I don't remember ever being so welcomed and accepted at a fully-established church. The absence of cliques and clique-y behavior on the parts of everyone is almost startling. It's a treat for all of us.
