blogging up christmas all night long

Ok, three more posts by strangers about the Christmas show, but really, the blog pickins are thin this year.

Our first blogger promises details to follow, so watch this space.

This blogger reminds me that I never spend enough time checking out the merchandise tables.

This blogger writes out the audience version of "Lord of the Dance." This is an amusing phenomenon. The lyrics are right there in the program - "Dance, then, wherever you may be..." but the audience sings "Dance, dance, wherever you may be...." Always, without fail. That's how tradition works - they're learning it from each other and that's kind of beautiful. I certainly sang "Dance, dance" when I was in the audience. But it's one of the first things you learn when you join the chorus: The correct words are "Dance, then."
