Let's Go Caroling!

A group of my friends and I were talking about Christmas festivities and we decided to get a group together to go caroling! I was trying to think back, and I'm not sure that I've ever even been caroling before....surely somewhere way back when...?!?! After the wonderful experience that we had this year, this is definitely going to become a tradition! The group grew and grew until we had a REALLY large amount of people, which was so fun! We went to several shut-ins and they appreciated it so, so much. We even made a stop to see Kurt, who was on call at the hospital. :) It was a wonderful night. There was one point where we were singing Silent Night, and I just looked around at everyone and felt so thankful. I felt really connected to our life here and it was a rare moment this season that I felt completely immersed in Christmas.







Our last stop was to see Mrs. Agatha, who isn't a shut-in, but it was her birthday! She is the grandmother of really good friends of ours. Her husband, Mr. Charlie, passed away several years ago and was one of my dad's very closest friends. We miss him so much and it was a joy to sing to Mrs. Agatha on her special day!
