You may have seen the video of the fight over the baby Jesus at a church pageant. The preschool class was singing Away In The Manger, while 6 of the children were sitting pretending to be the shepherd, wise men and Mary and Joseph, with of course, a doll in the manger. One of the shepherd, who was 2, decided to pick up the baby Jesus and dance with the doll. Mary would have none of that. She was 3, so she got up and pulled the doll back and put it in the manger. But again the 2 year old picked up the doll again and danced around. Then there was a scuffle for control of the baby Jesus, until finally, one mother came and retrieved the 2 year old. All the while, the rest of the class continued through all the verses, singing away as if nothing was happening. It was charming. And very funny.
The music on TV has started. The Mormon choir presented their concert on TV tonight from Salt Lake City. Wonderful choir and interesting concert with a guest tenor who was Spanish. He had a big voice and also narrated The Little Match Girl. I am sure the concert will be repeated on PBS. For musicians, Christmas is a busy time. The choir members sang with no music so they had memorized all the words and their parts. Ken was impressed with their memories.
Tomorrow evening at 7:00 the choir of Mississippi College will present their Festival of Lights, held in the chapel on campus. That is the school that Kate attends so perhaps she will be at the concert. I heard their concert of last year and it was excellent so I am looking forward to the program tomorrow. The choir is small, about 30 but they sing with great beauty and style.
Every day I check to see what music is coming on TV. I do love Christmas music.
