Could anything be sweeter at Christmas than the songs of children?
Christmas pageants, programs, and plays by the kids renew the magic for kids of all ages. All the practices culminate in a crowning glory of the big day. Nice clothes and shined shoes covered by robes make each kid feel special. Because they are. Parents, grandparents and friends come to see the preferences and praise their sweet cherubs afterwards.
Of course there are the epic stories of the bloopers too. Those live on through family lore. Cherished as much as each child with their unique talents and abilities. Or not. These experiences teach us and open our world to the possibilities.
