my Christmas Wish
there is one thing that i want for Christmas. it's not for me, and i doesn't happen in december. what i want is for the opportunity to allow sheila to see Phantom of the Opera in Proctors to be made clear to me. Sheila loves the music, has been singing the music for years, and would love to see the Show. mom has declared "i wish we had the money to allow her to go see it." i wish i knew how expensive it would be. i know that as a class feild trip, it was $20 to see 42nd Street, per person. if the regular price for the cheap-end seats is $30 (guessing here, because i don't know), then for mom, daddy, sheila, and colleen to go, that's $120, plus an 8% tax is $129.60, for all practical reasons $130. so, if i want Sheila to see Phantom, then i have to raise enough money for a family of 4 to go see it. i'm also thinking that $30 a head is not a big enough guess. i can't find any spot online where prices for proctors is listed. if i had something to judge by, then i would know how many hours i'd have to work to gift the family with tickets. honestly, i wouldn't mind seeing it either, but i am asking for a feasible miracle, not an impossibility. what the hey am i saying? i'm in the business that believes in miracles, plus i work with kids. i know that miracles happen. still, if it is only possible for my family to go without me, then so be it. i want Sheila to see the Show, no holds bared. that is my Christmas wish. Sheila doesn't ask for much, but she loves the music, and gets excited at the commercials, because of the music. then colleen had to go tell sheila that it was coming to the area, but we wouldn't be able to see it. i know that she was trying to make sheila happy, but sheila already was happy. now she is sad because she knows that she can't see it, even though it is coming to this area. if i could do anything for sheila, it would be to make it possible for her to see The Phantom of the Opera in Proctors.
