More Little Women

Yesterday I went a-wassailing with some of the fabulous and talented Centaur High Players to raise money for South Pacific. I'd never gone caroling in that official capacity before, and I was surprised at the way we did it. I assumed we would be busking- singing on street corners and the like- but actually we went door to door, along one of the upper middle or lower upper class neighborhoods. M picked mostly songs about how awesome Christmas is, what with snowmen and snow, and how it's the most wonderful time of the year, but the places that were the most generous were the places where we sang "Silent Night." People love themselves some son of God around here. Next round, we're singing more religious carols, since people seemed to like those better. I sang "The Friendly Beasts" at one house (after we crashed and burned on "O Holy Night," we felt like they deserved an extra carol- that house actually got three and a half) and it was really nice. I wish everyone knew it, because it's my very favorite carol and it's very beautiful.
