Tea towels are still being put to good use

Things I have learnt from going to school concerts over the last 3 years:

• The shepherds still have their headdresses made by putting tea towel on head and then by tying a cord around it!!
• Tinsel is the preferred halo material
• There is always one child who will sing shout loudly at all the wrong times
• Listening to children (not my own) playing violin and recorder without laughing at them is very hard to do - especially when Car is saying in her loud voice " What that NOISE- its horrible!"
• The teacher who plays the piano will undoubtedly always make a mistake or five when playing it!
• There are always a few children who are obviously star material and will always sing solos!
• The children put at the back of the singing groups are always the ones that will be pulling faces and sniggering
• Some of the children will not listen to the teachers at all and will always wave at their parents (like all the time!!) (and no, not Bel)
• The songs they sing are the same ones - seriously I can understand them singing the same carols but maybe jazz them up a bit with some new songs!

All in all the carol service yesterday was fun, even with Car playing hide and seek under my feet in the pew and asking loudly " When we singing!"

Hope your all enjoying your respective Christmas school services
