Silver Bells, hmmm...
My mother will never let me live down the Christmas performance of '74. That was he year I learned Silver Bells, and my Sunday school class sang it for the church. We were each given a bell to ring during the song. Evidently, I clobbered the poor boy standing behind me with my bell while we were singing.
Oh, grand!
I remember being the angel in a Christmas play when I was, oh, five. I worked so hard for the part - the only one for my age group with a solo - and then because my grandmother was in charge of the play, I only got to sing it one night of the two that we did the play. And the other girl messed up.
After that I didn't do many Christmas plays. I was Mary in a silent nativity one year and I'm just amazed I didn't get zotted for that. Afterwards I was graduated to the adult choir and learned the joys of alto.
