Warrenton VA.
Kiley, Violette, Josh, Madison, Jaiden, Taylor, Ty, Joshua, Micah, Rory, Xandre, Lilly, Zephaniah, Kendal, Addie, Ashlyn, Faith , Reillly, Anjoli, Mason, Blakem Emma, and Cole.
These were the names of the children who played Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, stars, angels, the three wise men and all the stable animals for The Warrenton Christian Pre-School Christmas Pageant which lasted 40 minutes. Anjoli Marie, my 4 soon to be 5-year-old granddaughter was one of the Stars.
There was not a Michael or John or Kathy or Sally in the bunch. This little generation is shepherding a new host of names. What does remain the same is a wave from the stage when they recognize that you are looking at them, the songs that are sung off key with enthusiasm and delight, boys that poke each other and girls that shove forward for more attention.
Peyton the 6 soon to be seven-year-old grandson, went with reluctance and would have rather been home watching Harry Potter. He spied a fellow classmate in the audience and they shot imaginary lasers at each other while the choir sang “Go Tell It On the Mountain”.
Ah kids! I am getting a dose of baby dolls, star wars and a house full of giggles, songs and dancing for every success. Christmas is fully animated here in Warrenton. Tonight we are leaving “bait” for Santa Claus. Peyton doesn’t believe he is real, but just in case we are leaving carrots for the reindeer and a stash of cookies for Santa. If he takes the bait, we know Santa lives for one more year.
Sending giggles and hugs and laughter to all and to all a good night.
