Caroling Blues

My church group had a night of carolling on Christmas eve. Six houses in all. I was the sole guitarist.

Sure brought back a lot of memories.

That night's caroling session was less formal than ones I was used to when I was in a different church. We had practices months in advance. My perfectionist spirit sort of revelled in it.

So somehow during the caroling night two nights ago, I found myself slipping into a past mood, impatient and flustered over false starts and minor details. Guess I have too much of the perfectionism deeply ingrained inside and causes me great frustration when things don't turn out as well as can be.

Sigh.

On a side note, this is kind of late, but to all who are reading, have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and your family!

Oi! It's Christmas. No need to stress the small stuff, la! Just enjoy it. No one will fault you for a less than perfect rendition of any christmas carol. With my horrible singing, no one complains, So you should be OK.
Merry Christmas!
