Remember memorizing your "piece" for Christmas?

Remember trying to learn your "piece" for Christmas? A recent trip to Melrose brought Bonita Gilbertson down memory lane. She and Dave went to see their grandson Cameron's Christmas Program.
The church is so small that ALL the children had speaking parts. Grandma Gilbertson and her tribe are definitely a minority in Melrose as it is about 90 percent Catholic and they are Lutherans.
The performers ranged in age from four to teens. "They're so excited and cute wearing their new Christmas clothes," Bonita remarked. She says that in Alexandria, her church (Calvary) has such a large congregation that they only have the little ones participate and even then, they're in such a mob scene that you're lucky if you can even spot your child or grandchild.
Alright Bonita. Long-term memory test. Do you remember the words to your Christmas piece? You certainly must remember being told to speak loudly and the sweaty palms.
