Brings back memories of childood and as an adult. Really puts the spirit of Christmas in perspective. So meaningful for everyone.

Yes, I feel all sung out at the moment. :-)

Saturday morning I was part of a small "flash mob" at an indoor farm market. There were about 20 of us. We started out in various parts of the room, and then two by two we started singing "O Come All Ye Faithful." At first we thought we'd start one by one, but the place was noisy. We then gathered on and in front of a stage in the corner. Here's a picture, although it doesn't show all the singers.

That night I went to an annual party where we always sing carols around the piano. Then this evening I attended another annual party with singing. It was especially fun this time because one of the guests was a young opera singer living in Vienna, and she led the carols. We did it all a capella, and it seemed as though everyone at the party joined in. Some wonderful harmonies!

I love the idea of what you did, Stacey--caroling through the neighborhood. But I don't tolerate cold well enough to do that myself.

Yesterday a group of riders from my wife's barn decorated their horses, and went Christmas Caroling on horseback. They go down a long gravel road, stopping a few places along the way, and end at this house, where the owners come out with cookies and spiked apple cider, and carrots for the horses.

The homeowners even dress up their animals for the occasion:

I would love to go caroling if only I could sing!

Loved the pictures of all the decked out animals.

What a wonderful tradition with the horses! My daughter Gillian would have loved that.

Love it! Esp. the photo of the smaller horse with the child on top -- the horse's front legs look funny a bit splayed, almost like a newborn's! And of course the dog's photo is wonderful. I can't help but love a dog in a coat!

The winter-coat grooming look is something I've not seen before; it's very interesting.
