Christmas Spirit
First off, I’d like to start this post by saying:
Happy Birthday Momma!

Ever since my husband and I started dating, at Christmas time he’s mentioned to me we should go see the Living Christmas Tree at Ozark Christian College; and ever year we miss it because we don’t look for tickets soon enough.
Last week for some reason it popped into my head he’d like to go and so I jumped on line to see when the show was. Low and behold it was Thursday of last week through Monday of this week. Hawt Dawg just in the nick of time!
He got on line, we decided upon Monday night’s performance and away we went.

I’m not sure, but I’m sure the story line changes every year. This particular one was “A Salute to Christmas”.
The show started at 7:30 so we ran by my parents house after work to help my mom put up her Christmas tree and then we jetted off to OCC. We walked in at about 7:05 and there was 30 minutes of Pre-show entertainment. It was hilarious. We even learned how to make a Christmas dinner without dirtying up your kitchen, plus how to cook it on your drive to your relatives house :). Yeah you had to be there to understand I think :).
The story took place during one of the World Wars, I believe II but they never really specified totally. Anyway it was about trying to raise the moral of the soldiers who weren’t going to be home that year for Christmas. It went multiple ways but ended up with teaching the story of Jesus.
And of course the whole Living Christmas Tree portion which was the real kicker to the story of Jesus and raising the “soldiers” moral.
And the whole theme of the night was Home or Going Home Again. Wow, it was a fantastic performance. Sadly I was really tired so by the end I was ready to go home, but it was a great show and so super glad we went!
sounds wonderful
Obviously – never heard of this show before – but it looks pretty cool. I'm sure it would have made me cry (with the theme of the show – and music normally makes me cry like a baby) LOL
What a wonderful time!
Great picture of you and your Mother too! Happy Birthday 🙂
I love Christmas shows. They definitely get me in the holiday spirit. Happy Birthday, Momma!
Sounds like such a fun performance. Glad you were able to go
I have been wanting to go for the part few years but never remember to check for tickets early enough. 🙁 Its always a great show! I always enjoyed going as a kid.
Lovely pictures Nicole! Your mom is cute, she shouldn't worry so much about photos. My mom used to always cover her face until grandkids came along. Now she wants to be in photos with them for memories sake. It's very important.
Happy Birthday, Nicole's Mom!
The Offspring and I went to see Portland's Singing Christmas Tree this past Sunday. It is the 50th Anniversary. It is so cool. I have had season tickets for the last several years. It's a nice tradition.
