EPISODE 14: JORDIE'S X'MAS SCHOOL CONCERT

FRI, NOV 28 2008---"I DOWAN, I DOWAN!", he wailed. Don't know why Jordie is so stage-phobic,.. probably recalling his embarassing kindergarten concert last year when some silly boy took his flag and he went to and fro the stage frantically hunting for it while others did their number. ..LOST FACE...so, sigh! this mummy here had to take it to task to help him overcome this phobia. Off we marched to the Varsity College x'mas school concert at the senior campus... even though teacher said it was optional, I still thought it best that he goes to join it and overcome this mental block of performing.
Fascinating to watch the colourful crowd present on campus that day. Senior kids in secondary were helping to raise funds for their school, selling cookies, BBQ sausages, cotton candy, Krispy Kreme doughnuts (SCREAM!), light sticks for glowing in the dark, face-painting, tattoos, God knows what else, a conspiracy to empty everybody's pocket that day, .. Jordie was good and sat down quickly with his group of classmates when he saw how many of them were in the same 'plight',
oh, he just wanted some team members to face the sea of faces in the audience, and he had plenty of company. He begged for a light stick, so I bought him one to reward him for taking part.
They sang 'We wish you a Ripper Christmas" cute improvisation of the original, and he had fun...
The Aussies love to have fun. Some parents had blinking earrings, necklaces, hats,...Even his school teacher was geared for party mood wearing big musical notes on a chain..
It was fun also looking at interesting x'mas headgear that day. Here are some that I spotted:
THE REINDEER,
THE JESTER,
THE ELF,
THE MARTIAN QUEEN and.. CURLY SPRING TOP....
