Christmas carols

Christmas concert 

Last week, my youngest son, Ryland, had his Christmas concert at school.  His grade three class re-enacted the Nativity scene while the choir sang Silent Night.  He was one of the three wise men.

While I listened to the children sing Christmas carols, I remember the time when I went caroling from house to house back when I was young.  This is what I wrote about in my current post at Pinoyatbp, Christmas carols and Christmas memories.  Read about my experience and find out what my favourite Christmas songs are at Pinoyatbp.  (February 24, 2008 update: You can now view this article here.)

And since this might be my last post before Christmas, let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year with this cute Christmas carol. 

 toothless

In January, Ryland lost his first tooth, later on another one, and then over the summer, the two front teeth.  This picture was taken in July. 

All I Want for Christmas
Is My Two Front Teeth

Don Gardner

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.”It seems so long since I could say,
“Sister Susie sitting on a thistle.”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be
If I could only whistle.All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.”Click here for the music.

 still toothless

This is now.  He’s still missing one tooth.

    its good to see that some school in Canada take time out to prepare concert for the parents to see.

    I’ve been to a few concerts of my son, but they only last 15 minutes maximum, and no production number like what we did back in Manila.

    sarap talaga manood ng children’s play lalo na kung ang isa sa mga cast ay kaanak or meiembro ng pamilya. they look very talented and enjoying the play.

    nakuwa naman ngiti nya, hope mapalitan na yung nawalang ngipin nya soon :)
