Christmas cheer

Every year, I take my choir caroling at one of the assisted living centers around here.  The folks there really appreciate the live holiday music and it always puts me in a good mood.  This year, one of my choir members has a spouse who has been ill and hospitalized for 80+ days.  At her request, we also stopped at the hospital to sing a few carols in her husbands room.  His face lit up with joy, and as we finished she said to him, "Merry Christmas Honey."  That was my favorite part of the whole evening.
