Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. Not as much as some people, admittedly, I find it difficult to muster the unbridled joy I had in my childhood but it's a time of year when I'll usually see my family which is always something to look forward to.
Of course, with Christmas in the air, schools go into overdrive with festive cheer, and today I saw one of the largest real Christmas trees of my life, which happened to be taking up a good quarter of our backstage space. More importantly, the space I would normally use to change, set my costume and props, and where I would discard said items when I jumped off stage. A minor inconvenience to say the least, I almost left half of my costume under the tree as we left. It also resulted in my kicking a fallen bauble onto stage at one point as I rushed from exit to entrance.
On the plus side, my Christmas travel has been booked and paid for so I've now got some long trains and overnight busses to look forward to over the break.
