Last night, we had a Christmas concert at church. My arts team worked hard to put it together, and the person singing donated her time and talents, and did a VERY awesome concert. It was one of the best things we have done in a while. I spent a lot of money on refreshments, and lots of time putting things out and cleaning up.
Unfortunately, only about 25 people came. Of those, four were the singer's family, and six were team members doing the work. So essentially, 15 people came. I was pretty bummed about that. I realize there are a million things to do in December, and folks are busy, but I just can't believe everyone was at the company Christmas party.
It sure is discouraging to spend a lot of time and effort on something, and then have no one show up. If *I* feel this way, I can only imagine how the person singing her heart out on the stage, and the guy accompanying her felt. All that practice, and time, and hardly anyone there to listen to their hard work. Not to mention the sound guy, and the team members time...
I am trying really hard to get over my current feeling of 'why bother?' But, then again, maybe I shouldn't.

Josh did indeed bust his a$$, and did a fabulous job on sound too. He was awesome...thanks for getting him on board for it.
Malie and I were planning on coming, but
she got sick and by the time I got off work and then tutored, I was too tired to go anywhere. I promptly fell asleep on the couch. I almost dozed off at work waiting for the manager to come to the back of the store and put my money in the safe at the end of my shift. I'm sorry we didn't make it.
And I'm sorry turnout was so low.
