When I picked up Ms. W after school on Monday, she informed me she was to wear 'rojo' or 'verde' pajamas to school tomorrow, the day before Christmas vacation. She did not have red or green pajamas. The message got to mommy and daddy so they could also go shopping on their date night.
After I got back from my Tuesday morning injection, C asked if I would like to go to the Christmas Sing-along as the family rep. She was not feeling well and had two more Christmas events Christmas week. Daddy was busy at work and was happy to give up his spot. G'pa didn't even know the location of the school. So I got to attend the Christmas Sing-along.
(Through all this Ms. W was not running a fever, but did have a cough and very runny, glassy, tired eyes and very little appetite. We knew she was not well, when she didn't even want to eat. Everyone was well enough at their house to travel to their next Christmas gathering and then to host a family gathering Christmas weekend. Hubby and I are hosting their colds now. We are NOT to sick to travel!)

Welcome from the principal
this was 2 of 3 school sing-alongs that day
groups ranged from K- 5th or 6th grades
the song leader and musicians
a variety of songs: mostly secular or traditional, 1 African,
1 Jewish, and a couple of religious songs
most of the parents sat on the gym floor with their school child,
I did not, I leaned against the wall
not many of her K classmates wore Santa hats
most of them were wearing pjs
a familiar song especially enjoyed by the older students
as they added their own words
dry, red lips and glassy eyes
but hanging in there...
the Grinch made a special appearance at the last song
WeWish You A Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year!
And this is the FINAL post of the Family Christmas Weekend.
