My church has a very stupid children’s Christmas program. It happens once every year, including this Sunday. This one had a country theme. It effectively took one of my worst-liked genres of music and make it worse. The kids generally don’t sing all that well and it is very painful indeed. However, there was a girl that did sing a good solo. She was the exception rather than the rule.
The program brings back bad memories of when it was my time to go up there. I did not like being forced to sing. Of course you can volunteer for one of the solos. A kid did do that despite not having a very good voice. You can’t, however, decide to not do the program. That was not a choice.
So I hate this program every year. This year was probably the worst with the country theme. It implied that everyone in the country was Christian and every in the city is not. I didn’t like that either. After every bunch of songs, there is also the obligatory series of claps and the obligatory standing ovation at the end. Until I have kids of my own that go into the program, I will hate it.
