At the annual (torture session) Christmas school show, where unwilling children flail about silently signing under too loud music for 75 minutes. We only have one this year, as the kids at the after school programme staged a rebellion (good for them!). This year, my son's dancing partner did not come, so he was left standing about while the couples were twirling. Torture, I say.

ETA: I forgot the Muslim kids dressed as Christmas elves...

julesG I'll have to endure something similar tomorrow. It's an ecumenical service/Christmas show that's supposed to be just wintery, not Christian at all, but ends up being very Christian, though. Fortunately, it's the last one I'll have to endure. 😠4y
tournevis @julesG Sending you courage and endurance. 😘 4y

tournevis @Suet624 Three grades, 9 classes, plus the school choir. 4y
Suet624 Ours were grades K through 3 but I think they anticipated the kids in the audience might have a short attention span. 😂 4y
tournevis @Suet624 Was it shorter than 60 minutes? Because it's all quite brutal! 4y
Suet624 30 minutes in total. 😀 4y
tournevis @Suet624 *jealous* 4y
CarolynM 😂 My sympathies. I SO do not miss school concerts. 4y
tournevis @CarolynM I am working hard to erase it from my memories. 4y

GypsyKat Haha! Yup, that‘s retail for you. I love Christmas, but all I want to see in stores right now is Halloween stuff! ðŸŽƒðŸ‘»â˜ ï¸ 5y

tournevis @GypsyKat @grilledcheesesamurai It all makes me like Christmas less and less. 5y
LeahBergen Wtf?? 5y
DGRachel Ugh. I mean, I love decorating for Christmas, but it‘s too soon for this nonsense in stores! 😭😭 5y
SW-T I saw Christmas lights at the garden shop today 😠5y

writerlibrarian Mon dieu. Quel cauchemar!!!! 5y
rabbitprincess Yikes, where is that so I can avoid it?! 5y
CarolynM Our chain stores are just as bad. It's ridiculous. 5y
tournevis @CarolynM Completely. As my friend Gillian said, they bypassed both Halloween and Thanksgiving, which isn't even logical. Last Year they did this last week of September, so they two weeks earlier this year. 5y
Annl Crazy... 5y
tpixie Yikes 😳 5y
