As you may or may not know, Mel was in charge (honcho, top banana, el jefe) of this years xmas pageant. She wrote the whole thing (though I hear St. John is filing copyright infringement for "borrowed" sections)and managed everything. It was a feat! Ian was a sheep. He knows all the words and actually sang, "Away in a manger". His little voice was so cute.
Reagan was a dove. Reagan sang and singed (they do a lot of that, signing -as for the deaf). Both kids loved it...
I tried to put my influence into the pageant with these helpful ideas:
- open with a joke.
- When Mary tells Joseph the deal, he does a prat fall and is carried off by an ambulence...
- Sing, "Silent Night" in German. I do this each year (they put the German text on the opposite page in a hymnal).
- end with a Joke. Such as: What if the Wise men had been Women? Answer: They would have stopped for
directions gotten their earlier and helped deliver the baby. Although, if they were women, one of them would have let it slip, "that baby looks nothing like Joeseph!"...
Mel vetoed each one. Maybe next year...
