Last night was Aaron's Christmas Band concert and I so look forward to getting to hear him play. It always means Christmas is just around the corner and I am amazed at how great they all sound together.
He is the tallest kid and seeing that ear to ear grin and him, so handsome in his uniform in the middle of the percussion section, makes me so proud. (Plus... he is really good!) :D
The Christmas music is always the traditional Santa songs and carols.
Last night - a pleasant surprise!!
At a school function, they actually played "O Come, O Come Emanuel" and "What Child is This" - two of my all time favorites! I sat there with goosebumps (they sounded so pure and sweet) as I was reminded of the true reason for the season...
Not sure how those songs were chosen and I actually heard two people discussing it on the way out but I say kudos, to whoever "slipped" those beautiful christian pieces in... they made my night!
