Kawartha Lakes Christmas Carolling
Do you have fond carolling memories? We have fond memories of carolling in the village of Omemee, going door to door with a youth group when dinosaurs roamed the earth, then later in front of the Trinity United Church by the Clock accompanied by the carillon bells, and also going to the seniors residences, singing favourites with residents. We found several videos with people in City of Kawartha Lakes carolling, and we'd love to add our readers' footage too!
Do you have friends who enjoy carolling? Perhaps you might put together a carolling party either at your home, or go from coffee shop to coffee shop, carolling along the way. Traditionally carolling is done to raise money for the underprivileged, so take along a smart phone and have people donate online, so they know the charity is receiving the money.
You could give your carolling friends a little goodie bag to take home, or a mug and a bag of "Snowman Soup" With this free printable "Snowman Soup bag topper from Craftsy.
