When you think of Christmases past, what most sticks out in your memory? Running down the stairs on Christmas morning? Freshly fallen snow outside your window? Or maybe it’s baking cookies with your grandmother. Put together, all these things can fill you with the happiest of nostalgia.
But nothing can put you in the holiday spirit quite like the music of the season. When the tree is lit on Christmas Eve, and all the lights are out in the house, and the fire is crackling….the right song just takes you back to the most special of times.
Growing up, it was always a tradition in our house to play The Vienna Choir Boys first thing on Christmas Day. My dad liked to pull out his mother’s old record, and we listened to those same carols every year. To this day, it’s not Christmas to me without the Vienna Choir Boys!
And there are other songs that simply remind me of family times together, decorating the tree, or making our own Christmas ornaments. When I was a kid, I LOVED “There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays” because of the lyrics mentioning “Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie!” Then many years later, the song had renewed special meaning when my young niece kept wanting me to sing it to her over and over.
I think these are all reasons that I decided to start my own Christmas Caroling company. I loved the nostalgia of holiday music, and I loved singing it! What could be better than to spread that joy to others and remind them of their own happy Christmas memories? I wanted to make it easy for people to hire Christmas carolers – I wanted them to experience the beauty of live Christmas music. Whether it was for an office holiday party or a concert at a retirement home, we could be an integral part of the delight and cheer of the season. Add the Victorian Caroling costumes, and you have the perfect package! Olde Towne Carolers delivers it all!
