Christmas Carolling




Have you ever tried Christmas Carolling in the streets? I had not until last year, so when the opportunity came up again this year to spread the joy of sharing Louise and I were there. Jami Gong from the Take Out Comedy Club in Hong Kong (http://www.takeoutcomedy.com/) put out the word and about 50 people wandered the street of SoHo and Lang Kai Fong on Thu 18 Dec 2008.

Along with sharing some wonderful Christmas tunes (okay some of them were really not that tuneful) we got to meet new friends and share a smile or two with those who wondered by. It does remind me how simple and meaningful Christmas can be. A few people on the street raising the spirits of others can make a real difference. When you are next in the mall buying for a festive season try stopping for a moment to thank the shop assistant, your fellow shopper and put a smile on their face. You will be surprised at how long your smile will last.

If you are brave then listen to one of our great carol's -

Then when I came back to see our video online I spotted this posting.
