My friend Ruthie invited me to her Church’s Christmas concert, so Atheist that I am, I decided to go for it. I love Ruthie that much.

I’m so glad I did! I had a fabulous time! Let me start by saying this isn’t your normal church and it’s not your normal Christmas show. It’s a LGBT Church and the show was… almost secular.

Ruthie’s first song was Mary Did You Know, which is one of my favorite songs. I think of it as a song for any mother who’s child grows up to be extra-special or famous and it always gives me goosebumps. There was the dead-on Grinch song, some ladies singing the 12 Days After Christmas – which cracked me up – a nice violinist, an excellent piano player, and so much more.

I must say though, I thought drag singers you know, actually sang. This one lip-synched but did put on a show.

Thank you Ruthie for inviting me. I think I’m finally getting into the Christmas mood!
