One of the activities that kept me busy back in high school was high school caroling. I was able to don a coat, gloves, a cravat, and a top hat (the girls had dresses and hand muffs) and sing as a tenor in a dozen Christmas carols in many gigs across the town, for most of December. It was hectic and busy, but it was so much fun.
It's been a while since I was a high school caroler, and I'm glad that tradition continues on. I was able to visit my old high school and listen to this year's group of carolers. I found myself remembering most of the tenor parts, which surprised me a little. It was a lovely and cheerful performance. It was a good mix of nostalgia and Christmas cheer for me. I am grateful for high school carolers, from the time I was one of them to today, when I was able to watch them.
