The Virginia Christmas Spectacular

The theme of this year's Virginia Christmas Spectacular is "Jingle in the City," and it is fabulous!

In case you haven't heard, the Virginia Christmas Spectacular is Thomas Road Baptist Church's annual Christmas production in which a traditional Christmas play is given a little something extra - a huge Christmas tree filled with the Thomas Road choir. The play was great, but my friends and I agreed that we would have been satisfied with watching the tree all night. In addition to being filled with the Thomas Road choir, the tree had the most fantastic light show I have ever seen. As the choir sang Christmas songs, the tree lit up to perfectly match all of their notes.

Almost the entire production was in the hands of five young children who played the main characters in the play, and they definitely delivered. The youngest girl, a crowd favorite, was incredibly precious and talented, and all the children had wonderful singing voices. They played orphans who wanted someone to love them at Christmas time. They met a compassionate woman who looked after them and also told them about the love they could find in Christ, and the entire second act consisted of a beautiful reenactment of the birth of Jesus.

From the Broadway-like set to the talented actors, the Virginia Christmas Spectacular is sure to wow people of all ages and is a great reminder that the reason we celebrate Christmas to celebrate the birth of our Savior who will always love us. I definitely recommend going to see it to get in the Christmas spirit!

There are three shows left on December 11, 12, and 13. For more information, go the Virginia Christmas Spectacular page on the Thomas Road Baptist Church website.
