Christmas pageant notes

[jay]

My three kids will be in a Christmas pageant on Wednesday, 12/22 from 6-6:45pm at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Mountain View. They're actually doing a meta-pageant, story about a family stranded in a blizzard seeking shelter and finding a pageant rehearsal, so it has both the usual roles and separate family roles... James, my oldest, is the father while David and Kevin are rehearsing shepherds in the story-within-a-story.

Anyone local is welcome to join us for the show in a couple of weeks... we'll be getting dinner afterwards, but it is early enough that anyone interested in joining us could still make it afterward to dawnd's for carolling, or to sunset_and_port. And I don't have skating that Wednesday...

Other notes... gender roles, with all of the little girls cast as angels (white flowing robes... and *sparkly wands*??), the little boys as shepherds (immediately recasting themselves as Jedi knights as soon as they put on the robes). Why no little boy angels? Never mind, I know the answer... too uncool in little-boy social circles ;).

Carolling? Wow. That sounds delightful.

I've been exhausted after work lately, but still -- that sounds nifty. I shall hope to make it.

We're involved with a pageant -- the carolling is here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dawnd/129109.html)...

Yeah, I responded to that post. :) But you might do carolling?

Oh wait, I totally mis-read. I thought you were saying that after the pageant, you'd go to carolling. I think I read "with us" into that. Sorry. :)

(For me, on a weeknight, that side of the bay isn't very local, because of the combination of working in Berkeley, living on the eastern edge of Fremont, and rush hour traffic. :( )
