The Christmas story, based off the writings and film by Jean Shepherd. The play was held at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the 27th of November.

As we entered the theatre, Christmas…

comical quality and associations with a certain type of narcissistic, eyebrow-arching, middle-aged man that is now too culturally ingrained. But if you can rock a turtleneck, more power to you. It’s just not me. This is why it puzzles me that, every Christmas since I was five, I’ve received a turtleneck from one relative or another. For as long as I have been able to dress myself, I’ve been receiving turtlenecks and have yet to wear one. I don’t think I’m a particularly chilly-necked person, nor…
