Christmas Caroling

In my town on Christmas eve,
The whole town gets the Christmas spirit. 
Up and down the streets at night,
If you listen you can hear it.

A crowd sings Christmas songs,
From one house to the next.
The whole town decorates their homes,
With things you wouldn‘t expect.

The harmony sounds far,
Then at your door they sing.
Filling your heart with warm joy,
With the happiness they bring.

Christmas caroling is our tradition,
And all the joy it sparks.
But the best thing to see and feel,
Is the children singing out their hearts.

I love the old tradition of Christmas caroling, and we do that here each year! Our neighborhood has come to expect it, and it wouldn't be Christmas without singing "Silent Night" at midnight! Love your poem! ~ Carrie
