From page jA
for Hannah Montana; the
fire went out; and I had
to help my wife escape the
python of lights that had
entangled her upper torso. I
then became the caretaker of
the lights, and proceeded to
somehow ensnare my shoe
laces in the spaghetti-esque
maze.
Hours later, after five glass
ornaments were broken, four
attempts to rekindle the fire,
and two high-speed chases
of our three-year-old son as
he careened throughout the
house in his underwear drag
ging a string of red beads
behind him, the family cat in
hot pursuit, we exhaustively
hoisted the youngest of our
tribe to put the angel atop
our Christmas tree. This
minor detail took another 15
minutes to complete.
When we finally got every
one tucked into bed, I called
my mother to explain my fail
ure to recreate the beloved
Christmas tree decorating
experiences of my youth.
As I reminisced about my
rose-colored recollections
of Christmases past, and
then recounted what had
transpired that evening at
my house, I was shocked to
hear my mother’s knowing
response: “Yes, that’s about
the way it was when you
were a kid,” she said.
What?
“Len, we didn’t even have
a fireplace until you were in
college.”
Oh, right. I forgot about
that - a theme which has
become prevalent the later I
get in life.
Upper School Chorus and the
Eighth Grade Girls Ensemble will
be singing pop songs from the
60s and 70s, classical selections,
and Christmas music. Admission
