Yesterday we took the bigger girls to the Children's Singing Christmas Tree at Ovens. It was such a whimsical time. The girls were well-behaved and very caught up in the magic of the stage. There were puppets, carolers, dancers, a children's choir, snow, and a very adorable head elf and his trusty reindeer. The plot revolved around Santa's missing list. The only way to find the list was to sing songs and get the magical presents to open up and reveal their contents. Hopefully one of the special presents would unveil the missing list.
About half way through the production, Hadley grabbed the program that we received when we came in. She said, "Here is Santa's list right here. We have to get it to him, don't we?" Oh my goodness. It was so sweet and pragmatic. When Santa made his appearance at the end of the show, he did find his list (thank goodness), but Hadley was not satisfied. She really wanted him to have the program/list that she had for him. She kept holding it out to ol' Santa. When the production was over, I was able to satisfy her by placing the program/list under a tree that was on stage. She feels very responsible for Christmas carrying on for 2011. "I help Santa, do I, Mama?"
