Preparing for Christmas, 2009

	While we were in Maryland, we introduced Max to the Dresner-Scherer Tree Trim tradition. I'm not sure whether the highlight for him was the tree trimming, or meeting baby Rachel.

Once we got back from Maryland, it was time for the Christmas Pageant! (Nope, no token Hanukkah songs, or anything like that. Max's big solo number was Elvis's "Blue Christmas." In unrelated but odd news, the winning word in the Middle School spelling bee this year was "dreidel", even though no two Jews can agree on how it's spelled.)

	"Go Tell It On The Mountain" rocked.
	The director of the show is primarily a choreographer, so the staging was fairly elaborate.
	Aside from channeling "The King," Max also got to be one of the Three Kings for a scene where an older girl was singing to baby Jesus.
