CCL Christmas

Last weekend we went to the Coastal Conservation League Christmas party. This was definitely a "Christmas" party and not a "holiday" party. It's not that those practicing other religions aren't welcome - it's that they'd probably be bored.

This crew loves, and I means LOVES to sing Christmas Carols. We sang EVERYTHING. You name it, we sang it. You may think I'm exaggerating, and may be asking yourself - did they sing...

* Sleighride? (the answer is yes)

* White Christmas? (yep) Blue Christmas? (yep)

* Santa Baby? (yep)

* Every known & unknown Christmas song in the church hymnal - Even Lo Ee'r a Rose a Blooming? (yep)

* Sprituals such as Children Go Where I Send Thee & Go Tell It On the Mountain? (yep)

* The Twelve Days of Christmas in round style? (yep - John & I were "5 Golden Rings" against my better judgement)
* Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas From the Family"? (believe it or not - yes)

We had a great time. Dana Beach, my boss and director of CCL plays the piano a bit, there were two guitars there (one being John), and a stand-up bass. The party was held at a co-worker's house on South Battery Street downtown. Gershwin, in his day, played the piano in the very room we were caroling in. Very cool. Here are some pics from the night...
