Tidbits 12/13
Clay performing in Hartford, CT last night. For the latest on the 2006 Christmas tour, join us atCDD's Christmas tour blog!
- Newsbusters - questioning the purpose of Christmas - "The camera pans across a sparkling Christmas tree, then zooms in on singer Clay Aiken, who begins to sing “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”: “... and ransom captive Israel … that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear …”"
- Christmas tour mentions:
- WRAL publishes yesterday's AP article about Clay visiting a PA school earlier this week.
The Associated Press also put out a short follow up article today. This is also being syndicated everywhere - read it at WRAL.com. There was also a small mention at AND.com (Africa News Dimension).Clay Aiken dropped by a gathering of students in Nazareth, Pa., to thank them for a book they wrote about a handicapped student.
Just his mere presence was enough for two girls in the front row of the chorus to fall out of their chairs.
The Express-Times reported the assembly was to thank 19 authors of the book "Our Friend Mikayla," which was written about their classmate, Mikayla Resh, when they were third-graders at Lower Nazareth Elementary School two years ago.
Resh has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.
Aiken's Bubel/Aiken Foundation published the book. Aiken asked the students if he could read the book to them, and they all chanted, "Yes."
Aiken singled out the author of the page that showed Aiken on "American Idol" and had her read that page with him. Aiken talked with the 19 authors before he left.
Since the gathering was at the local high school, Aiken even arranged for limousines to take them back to their school. - Ripa/O'Donnell/Clay... NewsMax, Boston Herald.
