Last night we took a group of people ranging from age 2 to 56 carolling. Let me just say, this was much like the old saying of like "herding cats." One genius mother gave out glow sticks so the children could be better seen by cars. These soon became batons, both the kind you throw and twirl and the air and the kind police beat the living daylights out of when you've been naughty and they don't think coal in the stocking is enough punishment.
To follow the cats analogy I think our singing was much like cats being given a bath. Surprisingly, many people opened their door. More surprisingly some people listened to our whole song. Most surprisingly, some people smiled and said, "Thank you," when we were done.
The lessons that I would like to pass on is this. One verse and one chorus of any Christmas carol is puhlentyyyyyy! No need droning on and on. Secondly, can somebody please invent a dignified cat leash for a cat that stands about 4 feet tall and walks on two legs. We'll be glad to test out about 15 of them for you next year!
