Around Christmas time our family always puts on a Christmas
program for a retirement home. My friends, the Clarks, just recently moved into
Emeritus Living and weren’t enjoying their stay there too much. In an effort to
brighten their holidays we performed at their new assisted living home.
We had
countless performers including family friends such as the McKague family and
all of my mother’s piano students whose skills ranged from a simple rendition
of “Jingle Bells” to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. We had a fabulous time and
performed for all of the residents with a special welcome to our friends the
Clarks, the guests of honor, who sat right in the front row.
I sang a song
entitled “The Savior of the World” all about how Jesus, who atoned for all of
our sins, was once a baby, just like you and I.
McKenna and Dad brought tears
to the eyes of many residents as they performed a father daughter version of
“Baby its Cold Outside” and Danced during musical interludes. They had
practiced for a long time and it turned out perfect!
Carson, the child violin
prodigy, performed a wonderful piece with the vibrato that he’s been practicing
so hard to get down.
All in all it was a great program and we were glad we had
the chance to bring a little Christmas Spirit to the residents at the
retirement home.
