BUT... when I was a little kids, our school always put on a Christmas program and my Mom had to make me a dress? skirt? out of crepe paper... red, yellow or some such color. I can only remember that if it got wet the colors would run and everything, including your skin, would turn that color. Truth is, I don't have very fond memories of school programs..... so it's nice to hear about some pleasant ones.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-74919336082070718282014-12-19T18:27:51.874-05:002014-12-19T18:27:51.874-05:00I remember my kids playing in winter concerts.
