Last week I attended my kids school concert ( no these are not my kids 😝 ) and took these pics of our friends’ daughter and her partner as they performed to the greatest Christmas song of all time,IMO.( Oh, my kids? Those pics don’t fit into the theme of this post).

The thing is, the seating was done via lottery which the children had a chance to randomly choose the parent’s seating number. Luckily we got a seat in the second row but even that wasn’t so great. But our friends got a seat further back and were unable to see their daughter’s performance properly.

Without thinking, I took the photos and I think they turned out pretty good. We didn’t have the friends’ contact (so I guess they are acquaintances?) but we knew the husband’s sister and so my wife sent it to her.

Today I saw the mom at the nursery school while picking up the my kids and she was so grateful for the photos. You could hear the gratitude in her voice as she thanked us. It is then it dawned on me how important these pictures were to her. It is the daughter’s last concert in nursery school and it was one of, if not the best performance 🎭 of the concert. ( I really wish my boys did this with some girls but they are a bit rough and can be shy).

What’s the whole point of this post besides sharing some nice photos and mustering up the spirit of Xmas in a Buddhist country ? Well it is just to remind us that giving in this season and beyond doesn’t have to include money or material things. A simple thoughtful gesture can bring so much joy to the receiver and the giver. It was a joy for me to take these photos as it is something I like to do but the added bonus was that it brought joy to the parents as they now have a memorable moment timestamped via photography.

Don't know what you're talking about, that's every girls dream guy. xD

The thing is, the seating was done via lottery

I like this, a fair and equal system for everyone.

Sometimes the simplest gesture can make someone's day or year. Not to sound cliche, but it's usually the thought that counts.

I'll add 11 WEED to the prize pot, in the "spirit" of Christmas of course.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, but they won't be the ones dancing 💃 🕺🏾 On stage to Mariah Carey. 😂

Indeed, and some gestures take a year to manifest 😆

Give thanks 🙏 noted. About to edit ✍🏾 the post and add the 11 weed.

May Crypto Santa 🎅 be good to yah in this reindeer-ish crypto season.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gesture. We indeed forget at times, that a small act of kindness can mean the world to another.

Really feeling the spirit and joy of this season 😁.

Thanks for entering.

Hahaha not so great since I hid it in a post 😂 but that’s all good. I may extend it, may. I’ll take a look when my eyes can fully open.

It seemed like a very lovely performance. They were so concentrated on the things they needed to do, so they forgot to smile a little bit more. Thanks for sharing this post, @dmilliz.

Yeah and not to mention the nervousness caused by the audience watching. But they a really focused on the task at hand. At that age I doubt I’d do anything like that 😆

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
