Trainees dance with children during the New Years Eve bash at River Bluff High School Dec. 28. The event was put on by the United Services Organization to give those trainees who did not go home for the holidays a taste of home.

My mom got a new sofa for Christmas. My sister & brother-in-law helped her haul away this old one on Christmas Eve morning but not before the three nephews had one last photo on it. The BEST part of the whole story is that while my sister and bro-in-law were dropping it off at Salvation Army, some guy pulled up & mentioned that he just lived up the street & really needed a sofa. So, they brought it up to his place instead! Merry Christmas, guy who needed a sofa!! I love paying if forward. :-)
Santa's secret is exposed — even his reindeer need to train in a flight simulator before they are qualified to pull his sleigh through the air.
A trainee who decided not to go home for the holidays, relaxes at a New Years Eve bash held at River Bluff High School in Lexington, S.C. Dec. 28. The holdovers were given chances to ice skate and do other trips as they spent the holiday season at Fort Jackson.
Ensemble members from the Hip Hop Theatre. This musical revue is a talent-laden bouquet to family audiences. It offers some of the most popular holiday music from the past and present, much of it recast with cleverly altered lyrics to suit any given situation. And a wide variety of dancing styles, including gymnastics and a pulse-racing break-dance segment. The narrator is an elf played by Sarah Rex, alongside a deep ensemble made up of some big names in the local theater community including Lamb, Kenny Moten, Randy St. Pierre, Stephen Bertles, the very busy young Alejandro Roldan (“In the Heights” and “Next to Normal”) and Starkey’s founders, Chris Starkey and Ronni Gallup. The ensemble includes Rae Klapperich (who made the more than 100 costumes with her mother, Laurie Klapperich), Wyatt Baier, Hula-Hooper extraordinaire Ambrosia Brady, Olyvia Beyette, Cole Emerine, Erica Lloyd, Britni Girard, Jennifer Lynne Jorgensen, Anne Terze-Schwartz, Kristi Vogel and Tess Williams. In addition, there are special appearances by — I kid you not — members of the Denver Broncos Stampede Drumline, a competitive jump-roping team called the Jumping Eagles, and a dance company called Hip Hop Theatre. Not to mention 14 children and a live orchestra of six. Directed by Paul Dwyer, best known from his days as an actor at the now-closed Country Dinner Playhouse. The music director is Trent Hines; the Choreographers are Matthew D. Peters and John Gilette. Modifications have been made to make this show more accessible to individuals on the autism spectrum, who have learning disabilities or a variety of sensitivities. Remaining showtimes: 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18, 19 and 22; 8 p.m. Dec 20 and 21; 1:30 p.m. Dec. 18, 21 and 22 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St. That’s just west of Interstate 25 and Lincoln Avenue, 720-509-1000, or go to Lone Tree’s home page.

[e-sigh> That time of year again! Simply flying in to visit isn't enough, cheap cameras are fired in the face of loved ones as they file in the bloody door! ;)
This is shortly after he unpacked, actually, and much to my surprise, this is one of the red Lomolitos that I handed around to everyone for Christmas 2006! It's been sitting on his bookshelf in California ever since, and there were even a few shots left! So, here's one, and it captures the fun & pure strangeness that going home for the holidays is all about, very simply. Prost! ^_^
