The Definitely Not Christmas Concert - Part 1

We go to these school events and a lot of the time, we're not sure we want to go.  We've got a lot of stuff to do at work and here we are taking time out to watch 3-5 year olds sing about the various religions of the world... but whenever we finally pull ourselves away from the false obligations of the job world and commit to these things, they always bring joy.  We always get a little bit more emotional about them than we think we should but it's hard not to see things like Schuyler totally rocking out to Jingle Bells (their class had Christmas!) and bopping around with her friends, totally confident and possessed by the music, and not feel pride and joy, as they say.  And Charlie, well, this is his first year.  He's just a little guy of three years on the planet and he's standing up there in front of these hundreds of faces obscured by iPhones and iPads and he's singing about some religious festival and having a goofy time.  

Kids, if we know one thing about you both, it's that you love music and it seems to make you very happy.
