Fa-la-la Choir Crashers

First thing this morning,  while running around Christmas shopping,  we saw some Christmas carolers outside of a busy shopping center.  As we dashed in and out of stores, we kept commenting on how fun it was for them to be spreading Christmas cheer!

As we prepared to move on, I had the sudden urge to join the carolers.  Kathryn,  however, was not quite as eager. I think her words went something like this. "Mom, you cannot just join a choir of random strangers and start singing with them. Who does that?" After 16 years of living with me,  she's gotten pretty used to my shenanigans.  So after some major convincing, we finally got out of the car, joined the choir, and started singing.  Everyone was very welcoming,  and the choir director's face was priceless when he discovered the newbies singing Silent Night with his regulars!

I don't know if we spread Christmas cheer to anyone else, but we sure did have an amazing time. It was a fun adventure, and I'll always be thankful we took a risk and joined the choir, even if it was only for one song. 

Here's the lesson I learned today.  Life is an adventure, so don't drive away! Be crazy and join a choir. Who knows, maybe they were a choir of angels. Merry Christmas,  everyone!
