Do you have a favorite Christmas carol? Or several? Do you have fond memories of singing with others? I would answer yes to all of the above! I love singing Christmas carols and have memories of the olden days when we used to go door to door in a group singing, usually on Christmas Eve-Eve, as I like to call Dec. 23. Those days will come again. This year, we can gather virtually to sing. Tomorrow (Dec. 23) at noon we’ll meet on Zoom to sing a few Christmas carols and say hello to one another. Here are the details:

Some of my favorite carols are “What Child Is This?” “Let It Snow!” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” just to name a few. Here are some beautiful renditions if you’d like to listen:
