"T'was Christmas Eve and Mr. Rockefeller's tree was bare at the top," the Christmas Drama Club show began. The kids told the story of how so many people have come to have an angel on the top of their Christmas tree. Many beautiful ornaments auditioned for the part of "tree topper" but ultimately only the angel was good enough for the role. Emily played a flower:
"I've had my fill of flower pots, so please give me a try."
"Just don't say no, 'cause if you do, I'll break right down and cry."
Her lines are followed by rejection:
"Thank you but no, you're not quite right, for now you just won't do."
"Please step aside, there's more in line. Don't call us, we'll call you."
It was a pretty cute little play and we could actually understand most of the words this year. The kids are really growing up!
