"Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star..."

I just returned from caroling down Greene Street, Liberty Street, and part of North Clark. Houses were all decked out in holiday trimmings and the night was obligingly cold. Individuals quickly gathered family and friends for the spectacle and stood huddled together under porch lights, listening smilingly. Everyone seemed to enjoy it...some more so than others. A few individuals even invited us into their homes, which was delightfully old-fashioned, but very much appreciated. :) Such gestures serve as a reminder that perhaps things haven't changed so much after all. :)
