 Every Christmas my father and I sing with a group of men in our church. We take one Sunday evening before Christmas and the men sing all the Christmas Carols in the hymnal for anyone who shows up. There never will be a prettier sound at Christmas than a group of men singing four part harmony. You should hear us sing "Silent Night" accapella. Some of the "Old Timers" in church tell us that it reminds them of their fathers and the "Good ol' days." Afterwards, we invite everyone down to the Fellowship hall for cookies, cake, juice, tea or coffee. It's just a good old fashioned Christmas celebration.
For what its worth, our church is rooted in the Evangelical United Brethren Church (German). To hear the Old Timers say it, those old Germans knew how to sing!
