Angie in VA Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 These are great! Thanks, umsami. I needed to distract myself from the JAWM thread about the child excluded from the Pre-K concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 These are great! Thanks, umsami. I needed to distract myself from the JAWM thread about the child excluded from the Pre-K concert. Ohmy, I just read that thread. That music teacher is a grinch! Honestly, the best part of children's Christmas concerts are the ones who don't behave. DS1 had his 5th grade concert, and his music teacher chose him as one of the kids to wear this headband with these bobbly Christmas trees on springs. He and his best friend were hilarious bobbing their heads to the music. Much more entertaining than the kids without bobbly headbands. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loesje22000 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We are still thinking how to translate the Dutch 'Gezellig' into English... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pretty sure the general consensus is that it doesn't translate! We are still thinking how to translate the Dutch 'Gezellig' into English... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
