Let's Get Ready for Christmas!
Step 4 of 13:
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Ohh you guys this tradition Im about to share with you is one that brings tears to my eyes!
Christmas Caroling!
Every year my church has a huge Christmas party just us college kids and our ministers. Its a time we can celebrate with one another before going home for Christmas break. After our party each year, we go to a nursing home and sing Christmas carols to all the wonderful and precious people there. They don't really get to do much for Christmas, our singing to them is their main celebration, therefore it is really special to them which makes it very special to us.
Every year getting to see the precious old ladies there dancing and clapping to our singing just makes me smile. So this year get a group of friends together and go give someone or many someones a special Christmas celebration they might not have otherwise.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for sharing this post! I think that it's wonderful that your church thinks about those in nursing homes who otherwise may not get any Christmas cheer this season.

ReplyDeleteGood work! Enjoyed watching the videos.
ReplyDeleteI have never been Christmas Caroling here in the US only with the choir when I was a little child in Germany. I would love to go.
ReplyDeleteVisiting nursing homes is so rewarding! It's nice that your church does that.
ReplyDeleteI have never been caroling before but I want to!
ReplyDeleteI love so much that you visit and sing to people in a nursing home for the holidays. How incredibly sweet/wonderful and I'm sure you bring much joy to everyone there :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice thing to do for the nursing homes. I am sure it must be very rewarding to see their smiling faces. :)
