Do you have a favorite Christmas memory? This Tuesday we will be encouraged to share Christmas memories in Winton at our historical society meeting. My favorite memories are of the Christmas Pageants put on by the Winton Grammar School. Fourth through eighth graders participated, some students in the Voice Choir, reciting the Biblical verses pertaining to the first Christmas and some students in the Music Choir, singing the Christmas Carols. The scenery, costumes and story was the same year after year, only the 'actors' changed. I think most students enjoyed being a part of it.
I have asked around if anyone has pictures of the play, but so far have not found any. It would be a nice addition to the next Winton history book if any pictures could be found.
This pageant is no longer a part of the Winton Christmas season. Too bad. It was nice and gave people a feeling of the Christmas spirit.
There are different Christmas customs around the world. In the Netherlands they have Sinterklaas. My daughter wrote about this year's celebration at DB's Aunt and Uncle's house in Holland at her blog.
To read more about Sinterklaas, do a google search or read the article at wikipedia.
