The School Play
Halloween was history and Thanksgiving day had passed.
St Anne's School was all a-buzz. It was time to start getting ready for the school's Christmas Pageant.
Tommy had been in the "Sunday School Christmas Sing" last year. Now that he was in "real" school, he was excited about getting to be in the "real" pageant.
He kept asking his mother, "Do you think they will let me be Joseph. I would like that. REALLY like that"
"Maybe I could be baby Jesus. I would just lay there and pretend I was asleep. You know I can do that good."
"Oh, Mama, it would be fun to be a tiny little lamb; standing so quietly looking at Baby Jesus"
Tommy's mother was really quite concerned, because the school was quite large and obviously not every child was going to get to be in the play. If he didn't get a part, she was not sure how he would take it.
She had tried to gently prepare him for the possible disappointment, but nothing she said could temper the excitement.
Finally the day came that the parts were awarded. Tommy's mother went to pick him up after school with great trepidation.
As she reached the front door of the school, Tommy rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mum," he shouted, "I've been chosen to clap and cheer!"
