I have to admit I'm a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. The sappier the better. And my husband and I were joking only the other day how all of them seem to be set in small towns. And these small towns have one thing in common. They all have Christmas pageants.
Well, today I went to one of these cheesy sappy Christmas pageants that my four year old grandson was going to sing and do corresponding sign language in. And guess what. It was not cheesy or sappy. It was, in fact, very moving and special. These children (the older ones) put on an amazing musical concert with bells and chimes. But what took this performance over the top was an astounding display where the children wore white gloves and performed under black lights. Their hands spelled out words like Jesus and Merry Christmas and images of the cross. The whole thing was set to music and was the most moving and spiritual thing I have yet to experience this season.
So maybe I'm living a cheesy Christmas movie. One filled with family and love and special memories being made. And one where you get your Christmas tree down the block from a neighbor who cuts a few every year.
