by Mary Anne ANDERSEN Cedar City Arts Council f there is one thing I have told my children, grandchildren, and students over the years, it is this: “Stay in your season”. Be a child, a student, Ia parent when appropriate. Live in the proper order; enjoy things available now. I am of the firm belief that doing so results in mostly happy memories as the years go by. Christmas today is not like Christmas 70, 15, or even 4 years ago and so must be created anew to match current situations. But alas; that doesn’t prevent my wishing that I could re-create some of those memorable Christmases past. Seventeen years ago, I had all my family here for Christmas (except for a son-in-law and unborn grandchild). The circumstances that brought 8 or 9 people into our medium-sized home were not especially joyful that year. One daughter was in a wheelchair as a result of a motorcycle accident and she was living here along with 2 of her shay baruffi children. Since travel wasn’t convenient, everyone H andel's Messiah is a beautiful and yearly tradition which combines orchestra and choir to bring joy, else – her other children, our other daughters and gratitude and even some tears to those who attend the concert performance. grandchildren – came here for a few days. As I look back, I remember it as one long meal. Cooking for 10 or 12 people three times a day was pretty much the sum total of my days, interspersed O SU's 79th with trips downstairs to the laundry room. But Christmas morning was magic; we Annual followed our tradition of opening one gift at a time and it took us hours. The trick was keeping little Handel’s boys from looking wistfully at a cousin’s present and making sure that every gift was properly labeled to be packed up later. I don’t wish the return of such a medically scary Messiah time, but everyone I loved was under my roof at by Shay Baruffi once and I was happy. Scientists tell us that memory is unreliable, that Iron County Today the least credible testimony is eye witness. My sister The Orchestra of Southern Utah presented 18 months younger and I got matching dolls one their 79th annual performance of Handel’s year about 70 years ago.
