CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

How often do we hear this, and do we take notice? Sadly, not always.

I have never understood why Christmas takes people by surprise. After all, it comes about the same time every year!

Nevertheless, I find myself juggling with performance dates from September onwards.

“Sorry it’s so late, but any chance of a show for the kids on the last day of term?”

Believe it or not, that happens every year; usually about mid-December.

Of course, I try to accommodate, or get as close as possible. Maybe the afternoon if the morning is taken, and we are not having to travel the length of the country.

I love the schools that start the enquiry with “any day that week will do”. Except, of course, whilst that is sincerely meant, it is not the case. “Oh, sorry, I forgot swimming on >>>>> and music practice on >>>>>”

Notwithstanding the hassle, every school that asks gets served, and the kids get to enjoy the play.

BUT PLEASE, DO TRY TO REMEMBER TO BOOK EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS.
