Due to a variety of factors I haven't gone caroling in years.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-67466330242122588712016-12-21T16:35:49.730-05:002016-12-21T16:35:49.730-05:00Yes, I think it is something that needs to be revi...Yes, I think it is something that needs to be revisited. There are so many elderly folk/shut ins and lonely people in their homes who would love to hear some carolers. I miss doing it and wish we'd thought of it sooner too! Maybe next year!Pamela M.

It's such a fun thing to do; not time now to squeeze it in before Christmas, but I'll hang onto that thought for next year.<br />Blessings, Pamela!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-92129786879194195412016-12-21T10:13:02.999-05:002016-12-21T10:13:02.999-05:00Beautiful post Pamela.

Brought back memories of my childhood coming out of church Christmas Eve after Midnight Mass and caroling all the way home with my siblings and parents. Thank you for sharing.

That way you don't have to be out in the weather while caroling! And the folks in those locations are always delighted by such a wonderful gesture!<br />Pamela M.

Even though, I haven't been caroling in years, I have fond memories--never know what type of weather will await you when caroling in Iowa! :) <br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />KimKim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-33049473849124523172014-12-04T11:10:05.612-05:002014-12-04T11:10:05.612-05:00Yes, it is a shame that "political correctnes...Yes, it is a shame that "political correctness" has led to a lack of joy in the season for many. But I am one that likes to let the light of Jesus shine wherever I am, in one way or another. I am not an "in your face" kind of person, but hopefully an "in your heart" kind...that shares love and then lets Jesus do the rest. There is so much need for this kind of hope and joy today. So many lonely and sad people out there who need to be reminded that Jesus came for them too. Thank you for your thoughts and insights. It is a good reminder to us to be faithful no matter what!Pamela M.

And my daughter had several Christmas parties as a pre-teen, and caroling was always a part of them. It's so much fun, and it's always enjoyed by the people in the houses we would visit. <br />Spreading the love and joy of the season that way might be frowned on more these days because of 'political correctness'. Don't want to inflict our faith on others, that kind of thing. But I sure never saw any of that in my day. I hope that's not true.<br />Thank you for reminding me of those fun times!<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-6547685511499646702014-12-02T20:10:24.019-05:002014-12-02T20:10:24.019-05:00Thank you Terra!
