Subject: RE: BS: Christmas traditions
Ah, Christmas caroling! I wonder who does it anymore? I really learned to sing harmony, caroling with my Mother and two older sisters. I don't ever remember my Father singing with us (or singing more than an occasional line of a song to make a point.) Maybe Caroling has held on longer in England than it has, here. I keep saying I'm going to round up some neighbors and go out caroling... and it always seems to turn out to be "next year." Best I can figure, this year is last year's "next year." The Messengers are doing a Christmas program this year, and we're dusting off the old carols, and enjoying it. I think you really need neighbors to do it, though, because Christmas Eve, people don't have the time to drive for an hour to sing.

Too bad..

Anyone still sing Christmas carols, walking around the neighborhood, or is it all a special program at a nursing home or senior center?
