If you're looking for a way to give a little of your time during the Christmas season, please allow me to make a recommendation. Last night, I spent a wonderful 90 minutes (after determining which door was actually facing west!) behind a red kettle, hymnal or bell in hand, with friends on either side.
The chilly breeze out of the north made for cold fingers and toes, but what does that matter when you're singing with friends? When 1 person walks by with a smile on their face? When you finally find the sweet alto notes of Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming? When two strangers join the singing in perfect harmony?
Give me a brisk Minnesota evening, surrounded by friends singing praise, and I will be a happy woman.
Joy to the world, indeed.
