The holiday season is my favorite time of year. It has always held a special place in my heart since I was a child. Memories of being surrounded by family and friends celebrating the season, eating homemade Christmas cookies, and decorating the house with my mom are just a few of the ones I try to keep making throughout my life. One of the most special memories though is when as a child my grandfather would dress up as Santa Claus for all the grandkids and our grandmother would read "The night before Christmas" to all of us. This is the first Christmas where they both are gone, which makes it even more bittersweet that I get this opportunity to bring back such a wonderful holiday tradition to Community Players. I know they both would be in the front row singing and clapping along to the amazing production you are seeing today. I hope this show brings you as much joy as I know it would have brought them. I hope you all honor the holiday memories you have by making new wonderful memories. Thank you for allowing Community Players to be a part of making memories with you this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
