How NOT to be a wallflower - the Purple Elephant way...
You’ll be pleased to know I survived the school Christmas party for another year. There was a time when I thought that Littleone wasn’t going to be well enough to go but she was so looking forward to it that I sent her back to school a day earlier than I would have done should the circumstances have been different just so she could go to the party afterwards. It paid off in the end.
Would you believe they played more or less the same songs as last year? Except this time we were blessed with some god awful composition I’d never heard before where the only word I could make out was ‘Pizza’ to which everybody including the parents, seemed to know all the hand movements. (Note to self; Learn them before next year so I can be down with the kids) Oh and they also played 'Amarillo' which pleased Littleone no end, (and her mother who has a secret soft spot for the song, well at least it has a tune and a story to speak of. How old am I sounding right now?)
And the very final song was ‘I Wish it Could Be Christmas Everyday.’ (Do I fuck? Bah Humbug!) to which all the mums and dads and teachers had to get up and dance with the kids and YES I did thank you very much and NO I don’t have a photo to prove it.
All the utter noise and nonsense was worth it somehow just to see their faces when Santa walked though the door.
*wipes tear*
When Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas, Littleone beat all the greedy spoilt brats hands down by insisting that all she wanted was a, ‘Teddy bear.’
I’ve got her trained well methinks!
