Guess who's mother was in charge of children's church at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Shreveport, Louisiana in the mid-1980s? That's right. Mine. So guess who was the donkey during the annual Christmas pageant one year? That's right. ME. I can remember desperately wanting to be Mary. I felt I needed the part of a leading lady. But guess what? I clearly stole the show from that Mary up there. If I had not been deemed "the ass", we would not have such a funny photograph. One year, however, I was the Star of Bethlehem. I wore a costume of white with gold tinsel on my head and carried a tin-foil covered star down the aisle. My grandparents told me I was the "star of the show". Somehow, I can't find picture from THAT year.
Either way, I'm wishing you all a Christmas of joy and laughter with all of your family members near and wide. I feel so fortunate to have you all as friends. Thank you to all of my favorite internet ladies for sending me Christmas cards. You have no idea how happy it made me.
Happy Christmas.
**UPDATE: My mother informed me that this particular photograph was printed in the Shreveport Times. I am totally famous.
