Pageant, or, You Have to See It To Believe It





Here's what you need to know about the Laubacher Christmas Pageant:
1. It is not like "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," with the Herdmans, although Mike Nalepka suggested that to me and I find it funny.
2. Yes, there is a real pageant, with real acts.
3. Yes, everyone in the family tries to comply. With varying levels of success.
4. There has been an Official Pageant since 1984, which is a long time to have a thing go, and go, and go.
5. The Sellers seem to be the most prolific Pageant participators, although the KC Laubachers are always enthusiastic.
6. This year the girls were supposed to help Bill and I sing "The Friendly Snowman." Ellie bolted, Helen decided to chalk behind Aunt Terry and Emma did the motions but not everyone could see her. Oh well. There really IS always next year.
