Today's Question: Have you ever gone Christmas Caroling?

Went when I was younger, but it's been years and I sang very soft. I've never been able to sing well.

Bonus Question: Who is the one person you have the most difficult time buying a gift for? Don't have one - even when I was close to family and married, I knew what they liked/wanted. Shredder is very easy to please - first dig a hole and then . . .

I don't think I have been Caroling in years, but u can't go wrong with Silent Night. I think that is my favorite. I don't think I have a problem buying for anyone because money and gift cards makes it easier to take up the slack when u are not sure which way to go. I don't have the house decorated yet and I am not sure if I am going to get around to it. I will need help, so the teenagers will have to do it and if they don't it won't get done. Happy Sunday to all of yall and lot of Joy to the World

Today's Question: Have you ever gone Christmas Caroling? Yup. Went several times while in college in the 70s. Went with a group from church about 10 or so years ago to a couple area nursing homes.



Extra Credit Question: Do you have a favorite Carol? (besides Carol Burnett) Little Drummer Boy. The original by the Vienna Boys' Choir.
A little trivia on Christmas music. You may have heard "Merry Christmas, Darling", by The Carpenters. I got to see them in concert at Murray State University in Murray, Ky. in the early 70s. Karen sang that song then told the audience that that was the first time that song had been sung in public. The music was on a plane at that moment to the publisher.
