It's beginning to "sound" a lot like Christmas...

Last night, our church together with some other friends, went carol singing. This was a tradition in England that was a big part of the run-up to this wonderful season. Somehow, the sound of carols being sung outside a home draws the spirit of Christ ever closer to that house. We left the church in a caravan of vehicles, armed with bells, guitar and shaker and before the night was over we had visited seven individual homes, a nursing home and the foyer of our local WALMART to bring some christmas cheer. I lost my voice but all agreed that carol singing is a wonderful tradition that brings joy to the ears and hearts that hear it. "We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!"
