My Junior choir from school was going to sing at Aunt Millies and then at the Court House. Maria's mom took us and we were the first people to arrive at the tent in the Aunt Millies parking lot. While people trickled in we all took advantage of the free muffins and hot cider. The hot cider was surprisingly good! Finally Mr. Rogner, our choir director, arrived and we all lined up and sang a few songs. Eventually we left and made our way out into the rain.
When we finally arrived at the parking lot where we would stand to watch the Santa lighting, they weren't ready yet so we sang random songs from memory. Being in the rain and singing Christmas is an interesting combination. It got us into the Christmas spirit none the less! It was really quite fun, because despite the rain we had so many umbrellas just in the choir that one could walk all the way down the block and not get wet.
Eventually the Santa got lit and we all hurried into the courthouse to dry off. You have to agree with me that there is some irony in watching Santa get lit in the rain. I mean COME ON!! Once we had shed our drenched rain gear we sang and sang and sang. If I had to rate us I would say that we did 4 stars. Pretty good job!! Thank you everyone who went out in the rain to see us. And thanks to the choir for such a fun night!
