The Wizard of Oz, by Wendy Snyder-Bradshaw

One Christmas Eve we were gathered at my house for the annual get together.  All of us kids were being crazy. I am sure we kept pestering the adults to open presents.  Finally, we were told we had to find something to do.  We decided to perform The Wizard of Oz.  Adam, Lu and I were deciding who would have what part.  The only thing I remember is Amber crying because we told her she had to be the dog, Toto.  We never actually performed, but every year on Christmas Eve we always said, “Let’s do The Wizard of Oz!”
