Caroling in Greenwich
This past weekend was the annual Naylor Christmas Caroling trip in Greenwich.
Ever year my uncle throws a party for friends and family and we all bundle up and serenade the neighborhood. Two years running we've gotten real snow for our adventure and this year it was snowy but not freezing like the year before. My uncle and his friends that organize the caroling are super organized and set us up with candles and photocopied handouts with the songs and, most importantly, hand warmers. This year there were twenty or thirty of us including ten kids. The kids were charged with ringing the doorbells while we assembled in front of each house and started the first verse.
We must have made it to twenty houses because I think we went through the whole set of carols twice. I forget how much fun it is to run around singing in the snow and I'm always glad when we go.
There is also the incredibly tasty spread that my aunt puts together for the after-caroling festivities. We got one great picture of the pile of shoes on the doorstep and actually couldn't fit them all in the frame.
