It’s Time for Caroling in Orme Park!

For several years now, neighbors have gathered around the “Christmas Critter Tree” in Orme Park on a Sunday evening to drink hot chocolate and sing carols. It’s especially magical for the children, who sit in a circle around the tree in the dusk while the adults stand behind them, and everyone sings.

The event is organized by Friends of Orme Park.

This year, the caroling is at 6:00 pm on Sunday, December 6 in Orme Park in the picnic/playground area. Bring a dessert to share. Friends of Orme Park will provide the hot chocolate.  After a short period of greeting neighbors and snacking on desserts, singing should start by 6:15.

Song Sheets
In previous years, printed song sheets have been used (which usually run out due to the growing number of attendees, and which require flashlights in the dusk). This year, however, the caroling event has gone digital! In the attached flyer, there is a link to a Google doc that will bring up the songs on your smartphone or tablet–which, of course, is backlit!

Here is a link to the flyer that contains the Google doc link and other information.

And here is a link for just the song sheet embedded in the flyer. Bring your smartphone, or, if you are really old-fashioned, print out the songsheet and bring it with you to read by flashlight–or to shine a light on it via a flashlight app on your smartphone.

Decorating the Critter Tree
Saturday we will decorate the Critter Tree – bring your little ones to decorate the tree with wildlife friendly ornaments from 10 to 11 am – fun crafts!
