I just love Christmas and the festive season!!! Christmas lights are up everywhere and christmas carols are playing in all the shopping malls…. My boys ask me every day: “Mom how many more sleeps until Christmas?” Well today it’s 25 more sleeps until Christmas!!! And I am so excited!!

Yesterday, we went to Mikey’s School Christmas concert – he is at The Bridge nursery school which is the feeder school for St Johns College (which is where Jamie is (GR0 this year) and where Mikey will go next year – can’t believe my little boy is going to big school!) It’s also the feeder school for Roedean which is where the concert was held yesterday.

    I have to say that this was the cutest Christmas concert I have ever been to! It was a nativity play with a difference and it was called “Christmas through the seasons….” – it started off with 2 angels looking for Christmas and then they made their way through each season beginning with Spring, where the children were dressed up as bees & blossoms. The music was also so much fun and made the concert a joy to watch. Then it was Summer with butterflies and rainbows.

Autum was next with acorns and owls – Mikey was an owl and sang beautifully on stage. (yes I am a proud mother especially since at last years concert Mikey spent the entire time  sitting next to me and refused to even go near the stage!!) Finally it was Winter with Snowmen and Icicles but still no-one could find Santa.

Finally a bright little star appeared (played by Kapil Moodley who is Mikey’s best friend as well as Zayd Motara – the 3 musketeers they are) and tells everyone that they need to ask Mary and Joseph where Christmas is. Mary and Joseph appear and tell everyone that Baby Jesus is Christmas and everyone celebrates!!! It was beautiful and watching those young children sing and dance and wave on stage – some of them even shouted hi to their aunts and uncles and grandparents right in the middle of the show! It was soooo cute! And of course I took tons of photos….

Last week was Jamie’s Nativity Play at St Johns and that was just as cute – Jamie was a little lamb and looked too gorgeous in his costume. And of course, he now knows all the words to all the christmas carols and sings them akk day long and we all sing them at bedtime every night – it is lovely and just warms my heart! Children make Christmas time so special!
