Exactly, and deftly put.
It's like a party given in the name of Ronald Reagan in a room decorated with pictures of Sam Donaldson, Jimmy Carter, Thomas Foley, Garry Trudeau, and Bryant Gumbel; and speeches honoring Carter's economic policies, Walter Mondale's life... and of course (why not?) Bill Clinton.
I guess to make it fit even better, you'd have to somehow persecute anyone who actually named or celebrated Ronald Reagan.
At the Reagan party.

To Tell the Truth, Virginia...
It says it was the musical program, not a *Christmas party*.
The way it works is the kids take music at school and present a program to the parents.
That's it. If it is given during this time of year they do songs related to it.
At my daughter's school they split the younger grades up so some perform now and others in March. The older kids will be giving two concerts (we will attend this Thursday, and naturally I already know every song that will be played---band this year, not "just" singing).
