Christmas memories

Last night or rather early this morning as I lay in bed trying to fall asleep, I watched the Christmas lights from my Great Grandma's little tree and listened to Christmas carols. I was remembering many Christmas memories and traditions I had growing up in Bountiful. I couldn't believe how many I was able to think of and saddened at the same time because very few traditions are still practiced.

What ever happened to Christmas Caroling? I am not talking about the singles ward FHE group getting together to sing a few songs at the "Old Folks Home". Do people actually walk around neighborhoods and sing? I can't sing to save my life but I remember going out with people from my ward and walking around the neighborhoods talking, freezing, throwing snowballs and singing a song or two.

We also had some great neighbors that lived in the circle (the cul-de-sac) right across from our house. They would make a big bon fire in the circle and they would have tables with hot chocolate and treats, what a great time we would have.

Even the year we visited Nana and Papa in Hawaii we had not one but two groups of carolers. The college kids would ride on the back of flat bed trucks and drive around caroling.

I say bring back the Carolers!

Not only is it a fun thing to do but you never know who's spirits might be lifted by hearing you.
