Hazel's Christmas Concert

The winter solstice. At John Swett Elementary School in Martinez, California, at 10:30 am, sixty-three kindergartners filed into the auditorium and treated the assembled guests to a musical extravaganza. Here’s Hazel:

And here’s who came to see, applaud, record and photograph the kindergartners riding to Grandma’s house in a one-horse open sleigh, pulled by Rudolph and accompanied by Frosty.

Parents and grandparents competed for space to record the memories that they will play twenty years from now at their childrens’ weddings.

Only seven cameras?

Not everyone was in the Christmas spirit.

I never wanted to be a reindeer. I hate Christmas and I REALLY never wanted to be a reindeer.
