The Christmas Pageant

Christmas season came around and our school was going to put on a pageant. My class was going to do "Santa Clause is coming to town", you know "you better not pout, better not cry" ect. We were going to wear our pajamas and we had all the hand motions all worked out that we were going to do to the song. I mean we were prepared!! Mom bought me a brand new pair of real cute pajamas. We (the kids) gathered in our classroom to get ready. I had a VERY full and ruffley dress on so when I put those new pajamas on I looked quite large. lol We were suppose to take our dresses off but I was too modest and didn't do it. When it was our turn to go on stage, we all marched out there as we had rehearsed, all of us looking so cute in our pj's. Well, we started singing and doing our thing, and then all at once my eyes locked on my mother's face and I was just frozen. I stood there through the whole song doing nothing but smiling at my mother! I mean my face was all lit up with the biggest smile one could imagine. Afterwards mom told me I did great and that I was the cutest one up there. I'm sure, to her, I was.
