Over the weekend, I went to see the Forgotten Carols and I went to volunteer for breakfast for Santa. It was a fun weekend because my sister came home for this special event. She is usually away in Logan attending Utah State University, so this was a unique time.
On Friday was when we went to the Forgotten Carols. It was shown at Cottonwood High School. It was a long drive to get there but in the end, it was worth it. The play is about a nurse, Connie Lou, who works a lot and is a workaholic. Then her boss thinks she works too much and has her go to a patient’s house to help him out. The play goes on to tell some Christmas stories that the old man, Jon, has to share. As he tells these holiday stories, Connie Lou’s outlook on Christmas changes for the better, she realizes the true meaning of it.
My favorite part of this play was all of the stories and songs. For each story, there was a carol to go with it. My favorite carol would have to be the Inn Keeper’s. His carol is about how he should have let Mary and Joseph into the Inn for the night instead of sending them away. This song was very well written. I liked it so much; I even have the song on my iPod so I can listen to it when I feel like it.
After the late night Friday, we got up early and went to volunteer for Breakfast with Santa at Thanksgiving Point. We had an extra seat in our van so my dad said that I could invite a friend to come with us, I decided to invite Brenna Sorenson. She is one of my best friends and was an easy choice to choose her. My dad and I went to pick up Brenna while everyone else finished getting ready. When we got there, she was not coming out, so I called her. The operator on the phone said that it was not able to go through. So I went and knocked on her window. I was afraid that I would scare her when I did this. But she was not even up yet, her alarm didn’t go off. So she woke up when I knocked on her window. She realized that we were within for her and she hurried and got ready. Then we went and picked up our family and we were off to Breakfast with Santa. When we got there Brenna, my brother Garry, and I were stationed at a table where we would help kids make snowman out of candy. The little kids were so cute. They were so excited when we said that they could eat the extra candy corn. They would get the biggest smile on their face. It was cute. After everyone left, we were told that we could go ahead and eat. After we ate, we loaded back into the van and went home.
This weekend was so much fun, from the Forgotten Carols to Breakfast with Santa. All of this made my weekend so much fun. I just love my family and friends.
