On Tuesday we had our last youth activity of the year! Every year we go caroling to members of the ward and I always look forward to this activity! It really makes it feel like Christmas. We usually split into groups but we didn't have a huge turn out so we all went together. There were about 12 youth and 7 leaders. I was thoroughly entertained. We couldn't find the first house on our route but it was hilarious seeing all these people milling around this caul-de-sac in Santa hats trying to find the right house number. We had to abandon that house - the number we had just didn't exist. The next house we went to was a friend of mine and as we were walking up to her apartment she drove up in her car - yelling "I knew it!" as she spotted us. We gave her a few minutes to get inside her house before we "surprised" her with our caroling. Thank goodness she was first because man we were not sounding too good. We needed a warm up! Our first selection went something like this...
"DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY... FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY... FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... DON WE NOW OUR gay apparel? (Christmas sweaters anyone?)... FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... TROLL the miffer mmmmm... (trailing off into mumbles) ...FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!"
We attempted some more songs and after apologizing to Kelly for our music (she got a good laugh) we headed off to our next destination. After that debacle we decided to stick to the same three songs - Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. By the end of the night they sounded like angels. It was so good. Everyone we visited was home too which was so nice. After our caroling we went back to our house for some hot chocolate. We had such a fun night and I never cease to entertained by these crazy kids. They are so funny and we are so lucky to be able to hang out with them.
