[Rhodes22-list] The Annual Christmas Party---True!

[elle]

A friend of mine teaches band in W.VA....here is what
she sent me after I sent her the 'Annual Christmas
Party:'

Our "Winter Concert" is Thursday.  We begin our
"Winter Break" on Dec. 
23. 
I have a student who isn't allowed to play Up on the
Housetop because 
it's 
about Santa Claus.  (No, they're Baptists.)  I got a
note from her 
father 
which said that they are a Christian family, and that
she isn't 
permitted to 
play Santa Claus songs, Easter Bunny songs, or songs
about St. Patrick. 
(Beats me.  Wasn't St. Patrick a Christian??)   Of
course, he's the one 
who 
kicked up a fuss a couple of years ago when he walked
into the office 
on 
Halloween and the secretary was wearing skeleton
earrings.  He's just 
kind 
of a nut case.  I mean, they know 7 notes; it's not
like you have some 
huge 
selection of songs you can play.  Once you get past
Jolly Old St. 
Nicholas, 
Jingle Bells, and Up on the Housetop, you've pretty
much exhausted 
their 
holiday repertoire.
