A Good Old Fashioned Christmas Sing-a-long.

Twas the fourth night before
Christmas
& into my house,

all the carolers were coming, none were as quiet as a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that
Suzy Snowflake
soon would be there,
I don't have a kerchief, but Annelie & Niclaas each had a cap,
and we were all settling in to hear
Steven's RAP!
A few years ago Auntie Julie aka "Suzy Snowflake", decided that my parlor would be a perfect place to have an old fashioned Christmas Sing-a-long. That first year was magical, after singing for awhile, we looked out the window & snow had started to fall. It was as if our caroling had "brought" Christmas. We agreed that we needed to make this a new tradition. Anyone with talent at the piano takes a turn or two or three, & the rest of us sing & play the bells. Steven always brings his ukelele which is a real treat. This year Steven & Alicia played several rousing, impromptu duets that were real crowd pleasers! Auntie Julie teaching Lacy the art of playing the bells.
Thanks Julie for starting this tradition.
It has created some great memories for all of us & just adds that much more to
"Christmas Time".
