A group of us--all school friends--would meet at a house in town--I lived in the country--and then we'd carol for many blocks. <br /><br />As with you, the people who came to the door sang along with us and cried and laughed and gave us cocoa and cookies. When we finished caroling we'd go back to the house where we'd started and drink wassail and sit around on the floor before the fireplace remembering other Christmases we'd done the same. Thanks for brining back this lovely memory.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023888201187440830.post-41425502801955810482012-01-01T09:23:09.986-08:002012-01-01T09:23:09.986-08:00What a wonderful way to start the holidays!

We got great results and every year, more and more people would stalk up canned goods in preparation of our coming. We made great connections in our neighborhood and filled my mom's car with food for those who needed it. I hadn't thought about it in a while but your post reminded me.

Usually I went when the church youth were going and I was in charge...our experiences were very similar to yours..most everyone loved it and a few were having hard times, or just lost a loved one and really needed the visit. We forget that many times we are the angels that God sends to each other. You were all angels that night!

I didn't read this yesterday because I was beside myself with the theft. But today I am grateful for all the wonderful dear friends I've made here on line, and how much you bring to my life.
