It's days like today that I find it hard holding back how much I love my kids. We did our Christmas Pageant this last Sunday. Now, if you have never been a parent involved in such a production, there are pro's and con's.
Cons are:
Stress making sure your child knows his or her lines, has the right costume, etc.
Stress if the child fights you about either of the above issues.
Stress if you have any props, costumes, etc. you are in charge of. Luckily, at our church we don't go extravagant at all. I know some places use live sheep, etc.
Stress if you do use simple props like camels heads on the ends of broomsticks, like us. Those sticks become light sabers if you're not careful.
Extra stress in general. But it's worth it.
Pros are:
When the production happens, you get to watch your children act out the Nativity story. How cool is that?
As you watch our production, what also makes it fun is to watch for the ironic. Shepherds playing peek a boo with sheep, King Herod comforting baby Jesus, kings drinking a Starbucks hot chocolate, etc.
FYI--my apologies to those who have been waiting patiently for this. This file is so huge, blogger choked on it. So did YouTube. Artistically--I can't change it! It's perfect! Please know that all kinds of privacy is added to it. Only my friends and invited family can see this. Same for my blogger spot, only if you know about my blog through my friends and family can you see this. Translation--this video won't be on YouTube's website for the world to see.

That was great! I love your broomstick camels. They have great faces. And a real live baby. So impressed!
