Svenson's Annual Christmas Sing-Along

Every year we love going out to Chesterville (about 40 minutes NW of Cornwall) to the home of Walter and Sherry Svenson. He used to be the Stake President, but now they run the Family History Center. They are both very talented in music and love to host a holiday sing-a-long for ward members,
family, and even non-member neighbors.  Their daughter Felicity plays the piano.

They clear out all their furniture and set up folding chairs in the two adjoining rooms- the living room and dining room.

Sometimes, so many show up that Brother Svenson has to sit on the stairs.

And, of course, we EAT! Everyone brings something, but Sister Svenson always cooks a ton too!

It sort of reminds us of the sing a-long that Musetta Mortimer in Antioch used to have in Dec. every year.  It really is fun and reminds us that we just don't get too much opportunity to sing Christmas Carols very much, unless we MAKE the time.  Plus, when the non-members there, it was a great chance for us to talk about the Savior and our church!
