Night of the dreaded Christmas concert

OK like many parents I have grown fond of my kids... most days.

One of the things a good parent must do is attend the little events that their children deem important. One of these such events is the Christmas concert. I like Christmas and I like all the things that Christmas is about, being a Christian I should...

However the Christmas concert... well no the Christmas concert is great I mean how can you not love little kids singing Christmas carols and doing cute little actions with them. What is not so great is the parents that have no clue and no tact. The beginning of the concert is started with the principal asking everyone to please stay until the end of the concert as it is disruptive to the performers etc. What he failed to say was that it is out and out rude! Sure enough at about the half way point people are leaving and the door to the gymnasium was swinging like a saloon door at happy hour. I mean come on these are little kids at least indulge them for thirty minutes...

Another thing I dislike about the Christmas concert parking... why is it that every moron that can't drive comes out to these things? I mean the driving around the school is treacherous on a regular day and turns to a complete suicide mission on a rainy day but on a concert night, my word it was armageddon for about half a kilometre it was a dead stop. People you have to be friendly here otherwise no will go no where. Ladies and men if you are going to drive the SUVs or minivans please know how big your vehicle is before you turn the ignition key, this is imperative (I am allowed to make fun of people's driving abilities, I am licensed for and do drive trucks).

Anyway that is my rant for the day,

peace
