Growing up, my grandma would request for each grandchild to perform their talents for her Christmas Eve Party. After our undoubtedly earthshaking musical solos – we would throw on our leotards and perform our Christmas dance numbers. <\/div>\n

I took it quite seriously. Here I am photographed in mid-costume change.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a> I had already performed Suzie Snowflake<\/em> in the white tutu and crown earlier that evening.
\"\"<\/a>Yet apparently desired to perform Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer<\/em> as well – from the year before<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I like to believe it was worth seeing a second time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kristie performed O Christmas Tree<\/em> that year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Believe me when I tell you, it was unforgettable.
\"\" Ann<\/a>ie also performed two numbers – Christmas Elf<\/em> and (if my memory serves me correctly) Have a Holly Jolly Christmas.<\/em> Later, she would become a doctor. I think it’s clear she missed her true calling.\"\" <\/a>Katie<\/a>, my beloved cousin, out did us all by incorporating a baton that year. I don’t remember the song, but I can’t forget that baton. It was nothing less than fabulous.<\/div>\n

1985 was a great Christmas.<\/div>\n
