Early Christmas Caroling

My Church wanted me to get The Boys out and pull a caroling wagon, so I rigged up one of my hay trailers with a horse tongue and a seat out of an old Chevy truck. Threw a few 12v lights on and hauled every thing to town (very small town) and loaded every one up.

It was actually great fun and the folks that we caroled to were very appreciative. Of course, with about 100 people in town, we knew most everyone. Weather was perfect, no wind, and full moon. Lot's of hot tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches and hot chocolate or coffee at the Church when we were finished.

The folks on the wagon were not afraid to blast out the songs. It was a very memorable night. I let my young neighbor do some of the driving. He is no stranger to driving, and has driven in some larger draft horse shows. Not the greatest pictures. Bob

Neat pictures, nice to see some old fashioned Christmas traditions still being done in the midst of the buying frenzy that so many get caught up in. Looks like everyone was enjoying themselves !!!
 
Weather must have been mild. I don't see anyone shivering. As for Christmas carols, I like the song Bing Crosby and David Bowie harmonized to.
 
Bob,

That is really wonderful. The pictures are great and I'm sure that everyone appreciated your efforts. I lived up North for the first 30 years of my life. The churches that I was a member of always went caroling before Christmas. I've lived in the South for the past 43 years and only once have I been in a situation where we went caroling. Just a few days ago, my wife and I were talking about the fact that we miss caroling.

In any event "good on you".

One of my favorite comments, "I don't care what night it is, get them mangy reindeer off my roof!"
