Hat's and Taps' Christmas Season started out with a Splash!
We practiced heartily through November to brush up on our Christmas numbers. Seven of them. For our first show on December 3rd, we danced at Sacramento Manor.
What a day it was! Eh, Carol, Ruth & Mary?
The audience showered us with praise and we were super showered on the way home. Leaving the Manor around 3:15, the street and freeway flooding was challenging for most of us. Connie won the boobie prize by NOT getting home until 8 pm. I rode with Mary for the 2 hour 12 mile distance. Confined in the car with me, Mary practiced her patience as I chattered away my nerves and was thankful not to be the driver.
On the bright side, we saw that spectacular full rainbow and caught, briefly, a double rainbow. I threatened to break out in song with "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" but was afraid to propose getting out of the car and "Singing In the Rain". All made it home safely and then, and only then, could we bask in the reminiscent sunshine of the audiences smiles and reception. To the lady with the walker who commented on how glad she was to be wearing her clogs through the pathway puddles and commented, "But it was worth it!", thank you! Our sentiments exactly!
We start our first set with "Let It Snow".
We go round that Christmas tree with glee.
"Sleigh Ride" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" pump us up
and surely didn't let the audience down.
"Christmas in Kilarney" shows off an Irish flare...
in hopes the "St Nic" holas soon would be there.
"Boogie Woogie Santa Clause"...
never gives us pause
but keeps us on our tippy toes and brings us much applause.
We finish with "Feliz Navidad".
Doing the likable lindys with 2 Lindas in front.
The "L"ovely ladies; Linda 2, Liz, Linda 1 & Lois

Happy Holidays to all!
