One of the coolest things I did in college was
participate in the Living Christmas Tree performance put on each year by the choir and
drama department.
If you look at the picture above, from the bottom
count up six rows, and then go all the way to the right side of the image. That is where I stood. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a photo from
the performance I was in, so that’s not me, but you probably can’t tell the
difference anyway.
The Living Christmas Tree always has as great
story, traditional and new Christmas music, plenty of jokes, and, of course,
the Christmas story.
If you’re ever making plans to be in Joplin,
Missouri between Thanksgiving and Christmas, check out the Living Christmas Tree webpage and see about
getting tickets. They go fast, so plan
ahead!
What a great image! And then to here the tree sing? Love that Christmas magic.
ReplyDeleteIt's great. I'm sad I only got to participate one year, but I've seen it several times.
DeleteThat's very similar to something we have in Muskegon. I wrote a blog post about our Singing Christmas Tree - http://www.jmlalonde.com/what-a-singing-christmas-tree-taught-me-about-leadership
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Kirra. A local college does something like this here in Jackson (MS)! Belhaven College has their singing Christmas tree outside in "the bowl," and people bring chairs and blankets (and kids, etc.). It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOne of the church's in the town we're living in does one as well, but we've never gone to see it. It kind of takes the magic out of "our" Christmas tree. :-D I am surprised, though, to learn just how many places do similar events!
