tonight, the youth in our ward put together baskets of goodies for some families in our neighborhood. we then wrapped ourselves in blankets/coats and loaded a trailer. we drove all around our neighborhood and sang christmas carols. i didn't want to stay on the trailer because last year i froze, so i thought i would walk. i was much warmer. i love the way christmas carols make the holidays brighter, warmer and more enjoyable.
while i love hearing their voices, i also like it when things are organized. some of the kids were singing their own songs, most were talking/texting, and the few others were singing their hearts out. the thing that gets me is when we would stop and sing at the porch of a home, most of the kids don't get up, they stay in the trailer and talk...kids these days!

A night of mass confusion! I was happy to see so many youth come :)
I'm sure the carolers were a blessing to every house you stopped at. And the carolers were equally blessed for going out in the cold spreading Christmas cheer. PS. texting while caroling? We are losing our focus a little.. here in the East too.
