night at Houston Zoo by the relecting pool, with the trees and zoo covered in Christmas lights. It was amazing and I cried when they sang because it did remind me of all the little ones killed in Newtown.

I fell asleep and missed the show entirely.

What a lovely, moving opening... the sweet voices of sweet children singing a Christmas classic whose lyrics are so befitting for this sad time.
