One Christmas tradition in Britain is the Pantomime. It is a play, usually based on a familiar story or fable, with music, dancing, and audience interaction. We chose the one in Norwich, a large city about an hour from us. This year's production was Robin Hood. We all loved it! There were familiar songs from other musicals with the words changed: Good morning, Nottingham; Do you hear the people sing?/Singing the songs of Merry Men. The best parts were the audience interactions. We were encouraged to "Cheer for the good, and boo the bad," and many characters had recurring bits they got the audience in on. The Christmas Panto is now a Meldrum family tradition too!
