Come they told me..

   This year in my world Christmas arrived a little bit earlier than usually. My Christmas (and I believe not only mine) was in the 10th of December. This day a lot of exciting and strange events took place, but the main of all was the Christmas show called "Craciun fara frontiere" (and that`s the most apropriate name, seriously it was without frontiers:) in "ACASA" centre.
   I have always said this and I know that some people for sure have heard it from me and I do apologize if I am repeating. It goes like this - the most important thing is not the result, but the process itself. And it could be related to this event, but maybe not really. Because in this case both - the preparation and the Christmas show - were so amuzing, entertaining and full of absolutely positive emotions that actually, yeah, my saying in this case is not in the right place and time.
   The process of making a movie (in cinemas from the 15th of January) was so hilarious that in the end I am not sure what I was laughing about - the scene of our Santa (the nominee for the Academy Award for best actor in the leading role - Eddie), where his trousers, stucked with pillows, was about to tear apart or the memories of how we were tucking more and more things in his ass and then trying to save the trousers from the tragedy. And the scene where Lorenzo is dancing without music, imagining the song of Lady Gaga in his head and the moment when Rasa opens the doors of our room, not realizing that the shooting is being done other side of the doors. The moments like this make the process. And, of course, the result.
   I think my favourite result was the shadow theatre with the story of a girl with matches. And life music with our maestro Lazar on piano. I thought it would be too sad, but it was just beautiful. And touching.
And where else you could see Maria throwing her baby Jesus on the floor, unconsciously, of course:) (David as Maria with his ears hanging out of the headgear - the sweetest thing my eyes have seen!)
   One of my favourite processes was cha-cha-cha with Lorenzo. And choosing the costume in his wardrobe. He definitely knows where to put his hips.
   And, of course, singing with my baby Teo. We were so into the process that just 1 week before the show we realized that we should select the songs we would sing in the concert. And so we chose "Little Drummer Boy" and "Rocking around the Christmas tree". And just to let you know there is an up-dated version of the lyrics of the second verse:
"Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum,
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum,
I have no gifts to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
And that`s the coolest thing, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pumpumpu, rum pum pum pum."
If the 10th was Christmas then the Christmas Evet was the one between the9th and 10th, because there was this thing in the air (I hope you know what I am talking about:). Rasa and Bea were baking cookies till very early morning and the smell of cookies were all over the place (sorry, girls, that I was such a lazy ass and didn`t help you). And like every Christmas Eve I was watching a good movie. This time it was more than good - "Buffalo`66 - my recent favourite movie And the Christmas lights were on and early in the morning when it was snowing like a blessing from the sky I went for a walk and thought to myself that these Christmas would be great, because I am with my family. Related by laughs, tears and love.
