Peanuts Christmas Play

Well down here at McMurdo you do what you can to keep yourself entertained. Several of the folks decided to put on the Charlie Brown Christmas special as a play. We only drew about a hundred people for an audience, not bad when you figure the base population is only about 1000. Well last week I was asked to play Pig Pen since the guy who was doing it had to work. So I put on a pair of coveralls and rolled around in the dust. So for an hour I acted like I was a kid again and did a play that had the production value of a 2nd grade production. But we were so confused and rushing around that it was funny as hell. Everyone had a good laugh at us making fools of ourselves. To be honest the chaplian said that was the busiest he has seen the chapel since he has been here. I had fun. The post production party at the coffee house was even more fun, since most of us sat around polishing off to bottles of wine and laughing at each other.
