Caroling Activity
Tonight we went caroling as a ward. We met at the Red Hawk golf club and then drove around to care homes for the elderly in the area and sang to them. It was fun and the kids really had a great time. We had about 30 or so people there. The elderly had fun watching and singing along with us. We always enjoy doing that type of thing.
After we went caroling, we took a tour of a home that was decorated in themes from all around the world. It was absolutely amazing. They usually charge to do this in order to raise money for a charity they are involved in, but we got to go through for free. There wasn’t a room in the house that wasn’t decorated (including the bathrooms) with trees and ornaments from all over. They had Egypt, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and many other countries represented. The cool thing is that all (or at least most) of the ornaments were native to the country. For example, their dining room was decorated with hundreds of German Hummels. The cost of the room alone had to be at least $100k or more.
I only got a couple of pictures (wasn’t sure if we could take pictures or not), and I wish I would have gotten more. They wouldn’t have done this home justice! In addition to all the decorations, they had a whole bunch of artwork on the walls that is from original artists and such. It was absolutely amazing!
