One in particular was when I was an angel. I was pretty little at the time, and I was in charge of helping another even younger angel to her place at the right time. Over the years I played a lot of other characters (including Mary and I got to hold my first baby on stage) but that year I was an angel is always at the for front of my favorite years. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Amada (pronounced: a.m.a.th.a) Chavez<br /><br />amada_chavez{AT}yahoo{DOT}comASC Book Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219182071736438971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-198544552471156692013-11-08T10:28:27.224-05:002013-11-08T10:28:27.224-05:00I really enjoy going to my granddaughters Christma...I really enjoy going to my granddaughters Christmas skits at church last year they had one where they talked rap and sung songs that all related to country people ending up in the big city during the holidays and how they all shared their love of Jesus with others, it was a lot of fun and inspirational.

My little granddaughter, being the only girl, was Mary, of course. Her mom in an effort to make her look like an expectant mother, gave her some padding under the robe which was her costume. As she came out, she obviously was having some costume issues as the padding slipped out. At the time it was quite funny, but it made for a wonderful Christmas memory.
