As Christmas is round the corner, we've been been busy doing the rounds for Carols singing for the past one week. We are a team of about 15 people and there is a Santa Claus - Albin, my neighbour.
Albin works part-time for an IT company in our locality. He approached his boss to allow for his absence during the Carols week. His boss agreed on one condition - that we sing for them one of these days :)
Today, we concluded the Carols singing. True to our word, we visited Albin's office. We didn't know what to expect as we've never sung for a non-family audience before, also many of them wouldn't be Christians.
We entered the office, and they all stood up to welcome us. Their faces bore an expectant look. We sang songs and read the Bible. Finally, we wished them all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And 'Santa' went about distributing sweets to his colleagues! They in turn, treated us like how the families we visit usually do.
When we left the place, his boss thanked us all for the wonderful experience. No, we had to thank him for the wonderful time we all had. It was a blessed experience and a truly fulfilling one! Somehow, within the context of Christmas, we met unexpected people whom we wouldn't have got a chance to meet otherwise and shared with them the joy of Christmas :)
