A CONCERT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Did you ever wish for something for Christmas knowing that you would'nt get it? Even so, we still wish and hope, thinking that somehow we will wake up and there it is. Well, Phil wished for tickets to see Trans Siberian Orchestra for Christmas. You see, they were coming to Birmingham and he really wanted to go! He looked on line and saw that the cheap tickets were still pretty expensive and being the good and unselfish parents that we are, knew it was not an option, but still, worthy of the wish.

But wait, there's more! I was driving home from work one evening, commuting from Huntsville to Decatur, when upon the radio I did hear a shout out for "Flash Back Trivia!" I knew the answer! I had to call and get through, because the prize was for tickets to what! . . . Trans Siberian Orchestra! I called and they answered! I was on the radio, and yes, I WON!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I never get through! We were so excited!

We went to the concert on December 20. It was FANTASTIC! I don't care about the kids anymore, I am going to BUY tickets next time it was that good! I hardly had a voice the next day and we didn't get home until after midnight so we HAD to make sure to be to church on time the next day! It was worth it! I think we will wish this wish again! AWESOME!
