Glad it isn't just me that gets all emotional when the sprogs are performing. I cry when they do their class assemblies, I gush when dauhgter number one does her disco dancing at her dance club and I cry tears of pure joy when I hear the two of them practising their Christmas songs and making the words or tunes up and laughing proper from the belly, laughter!

Daughter number one is angel 3 in the infant nativity and son number one is the narrator in the reception nativity - he really wanted to be a King as 'Kings are awesome mummy', but his teacher told him how important his role is as without him, nobody would know the story.

I will video it, and take snaps, and cry into my hanky. My darling will see our sons show with me, but we will see daughters seperately, me the afternoon show, him the evening performance.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! ;D

I love going to see my boys in their nativity plays, the school they are at always gets everybody a part, which is why we've had elephants, tigers, lions and zebra's as well as the usual donkeys and sheep in the stable. It's funny how the jungle animals also make an appearence in the Harvest Festivals, maybe I missed something when I was at school ???

Delilah, glad to know that we were not the only ones to maintain the magic for as long as possible, our children seem to be very well adjusted anyway, so I don't think we have introduced any major traumas for them. Our eldest has requested we buy him a goat, (for the third world - a goat would cause a riot in his student accommodation).

It can't be 'just' the Daily Mail RC...Political Correctness is all around us everyday..can't really miss it.

Oh for the days of simplicity

Oh Derek.....I find that statement deeply offensive..... have no idea why, but will come up for a reason later.... ;D ;)

Yes but PC equates mainly to politeness and treating people correctly. There are a few extreme measures taken by people on the loony left that are ridiculous which are blown out of all proportion and made to seem like the general rule by the right wing press and a few that they just make up. The Sun and the Mail were famous during the eighties for going round waste paper bins in Strasburg and digging out proposals that didn't get past the first stage and declaring them as the next 'bonkers' Euro legislation about cucumbers and suasages - it suited the aims of Thatcherism at the time.

RC

Politeness and treating people correctly was instilled into me by the family whilst growing up ....there wasn't a need for the authoritarian (I agree often ridiclous) approach by the so-called PC brigade in today's world.

Blaming a particular political party is not necessarily correct as history denotes that there is very little difference between them on this issue

On a much lighter and pleasant note I have seen pictures of my youngest granddaughter (18 months old) in her nativity play...apparently her sister (almost 5) who was there thinks she's a star

And bet she is too!! Can't wait to see mine now! Dan's getting really good at moonwalking and I'm not!! Keep falling over!
If you're brought up with the need to respect others, then I don't even see the need for PC. I still tremble when I see a police officer, and can barely look the headmaster in the eye! Keep forgetting I'm not 6 now....

I consider myself very lucky, for Coventry is a 'multicultural' city. There are very few racial, ethnic and religious problems really, and the environment is fairly rich in cultural activities. I don't really think about being PC as we are all human and have our own little stances on things. Organisations though, need to consider the bigger picture, and my college is an example of how it tries to be PC, because it is heavily criticised if it gets it wrong. Most of it relates to equal access, irrespective of background. This does lead to problems, whereby students can demand to go on courses where they lack the basic numeracy and literacy necessary, by declaring they will also acquire those basic skills. This rarely works in practice, and just takes places which other more worthy students are denied.

On the subject of moonwalking ... I saw a lad moonwalking on iceskates at the local rink, that has got to be the coolest technique ever ...

We're having enough problems on the kitchen floor, Derek, let alone strapping him to two pieces of metal and shoving him onto the ice...I dread to think!!! ;D ;D ;D ;)

Twas the Christmas Fayre tonight after school - another joy, got 6 books for £1.00, 2 puzzles for 50p and a cup of coffee, mince pie, 2 oranges squashes and 2 buns for another quid.

Bargain of a night and we got to see the teachers dressed up in silly costumes again ;D

Well, am now off Christmas shopping, have crash helmet on, roller blades and cushion firmly tied to butt, fell down slope on way to school this am... ::) ;) am fine, though would have preferred not have had 3 bin men cracking up...if you don't here from me by tonight, send out a searchparty.....

Delilah · « **Reply #33 on:** December 09, 2005, 09:38:39 »

Good Luck Lottie - I can't imagine anything less pleasurable :( Hope you get it all done today then you've won't have to brave the crowds again :)

Delilah. If only one of us lived nearer UC we could set up an "escort" thingy for her to avoid any more mishaps. As I have said before it could only happen to UC. Still she is good for a laugh ;D ;D

Derekthefox · « **Reply #35 on:** December 09, 2005, 11:32:29 »

Wardy, yes Christmas shopping is a real nightmare for me too, I have my father's gifts already chosen, nice simple stuff, but I have to think of several gifts for my wife, and no clues at all, the poundshop is not inspiring this year. (Before you think me a skinflint, we get each other a sackful of cheap presents, leaving the expensive stuff for in the sales ...).

Lorna, you are right about Lottie, someone has to keep us entertained ... ;D

OMG!OMG!OMG!!!! Never ever again, never, ever, never....ever!! My poor butt! And the town had people in it!!! Everywhere......am running off to TM's dream house and squatting.....did get a nice pair of socks though..... ::) ::) And thanks for all your kind offers of supervision, I feel that they best way to go, is to draw up a rota...Wednesday's are particularly fraught, and Thursday's, Friday's can be tricky....mmmmm ???

Derekthefox · « **Reply #37 on:** December 09, 2005, 16:38:01 »

Ha ha Wardy, my wife has enough clothes to fill a warehouse !!! It is not possible for someone to wear that many clothes ... I think she has realised though and is starting to bag them up for the charity shops ... I tend to just buy token stuff as I have already said, perhaps a warm fluffy hat etc. I have already visited the pound shop and experienced the same hell as described by lottie, knees bashed by pushchairs and baskets etc, and my glasses knocked off by people trying to reach across me. Grrrr. Got a few little kitchen oddments that will amuse my wife, she is always into kitchen gadgets. And also some foodie goodies too. Stuff to fill her santa sack. I will have to brave the other discount stores another time, not something I am relishing.

I am cooking xmas dinner on Sunday for 16. The out laws are going to Sri Lanka on Monday for 2 months so OH volunteered me to cook. Went to Morrisons to get bits and bobs and I have to say I think there should be a law against incondsiderate parkers. Single people who park in the parent and child spaces and also 4x4 who just abandon their car diagonally across 2 spaces. I want one of those magic blippers that turn their headlights on so that when they get back their car wont start.
Back on topic ....... I ran our Xmas carol campfire last night at cubs. It was great. I wrote a poem that the kids all had a part in and then went on holiday. Got back yesterday morn, went to cubs and one of the other leaders had sorted out all the costumes for the lads. They were brilliant. Then they all sang happy birthday to me and presented me with a birthday cake with a picture of a Baggy on it. Really good time was had by all.

Derekthefox · « **Reply #39 on:** December 09, 2005, 19:43:04 »

Awww Baggy, it sounds like you had a wonderful time, I hope you weren't overcome when they sang happy birthday and brought you that cake ... :)
