Deck the Halls with Holls of Bolly
Fa - la - la - la - la - la - la - la- la.
Oh boy.
With Ellie's first year of preschool and dance class comes her first school play and dance routines. Let me tell you, she's a little nervous.
She is me.
I honestly don't know how many Christmas carols and shuffle-hop-steps a not yet four year old can remember. She is trying to keep it all a big secret, which is so adorable. When I ask her what songs they are singing for the school program she gets a big grin and says, "You'll just have to wait and see."
I know we will for sure be serenaded with "Silent Night," "This Little Light of Mine," "Deck the Halls" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" because they seep into her everyday life and she just starts leaking Christmas carols out of her mouth. I'm not kidding, she will be putting her coat on and break out into "This Little Light of Mine" or while playing with dolls "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" will come out.
The other day I asked her where she learned "Deck the Halls." She said, "You mean 'Deck the Halls with holls of bolly?' Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la? Oh, I learned that around here."
Um, no. No you didn't. At least not enough to know all of the verses, but whatever, we'll keep it a secret.
Do you know that scene in Parenthood? The movie, not the show. It is towards the end and Steve Martin's son is in the school play. It all goes to hell with the scenerey falling down around them. Yeah, I'm really hoping that doesn't happen Thursday night.
The good news is Ellie doesn't have a speaking role. Or is that not good news? I need more info before I can make a final call on that one. Either way, the less stressful news is that Ellie doesn't have lines to memorize for the play, but she does have a job critical to the plot of the play.
Be thinking of us at 6:30 pm on Thursday, OK?
Thanks.

Holiday Card Displays
In the next few days our friends and family will be receiving our holiday cards in their mailboxes. And while we are awaiting the arrival of our first card, I am wondering, like every year, what are we going to do with them when they arrive?
Holiday cards should be celebrated and I am in search of the perfect way to display friends and family in our home.

I think the one above from Land of Nod is my the current front runner but if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! How do you display holiday cards in your home? If it keeps the paint from coming off the walls/trim, even better!
