Picture#2

I found this picture in the '95 envelope but I'm not sure if it is from Christmas '94 or '95. There are few clues in the picture. I can see that this is my class' Christmas play. I am front and centre as Santa, which I was for k-Gr.2. I remember the teachers telling me that I had the loudest clearest voice and so they wanted me to be Santa. Sometimes I wanted to be a pretty glittery star like the other girls instead I was bundled into layer upon layer of clothes, pillows, and beard as Santa. I remember being upset about being Santa and complaining to my Mom I don't remember what she said but I do remember that it made me feel a lot better and by the end of our conversation I felt proud to be Santa. I remember having to wear my teacher's big black boots in Gr.2 but I can't tell from this distance whose boots I am wearing. At least I had the only speaking role. "Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight"
