2008 Caroling Mob: Sunday, Dec. 21

What it Is:

Join the 5th annual Merry Christmas Caroling Mob! Sing to residents of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts (USA) in four-part harmony, with feelin'.

• Where: Meet at the Stony Brook MBTA stop (180 Lamartine Street) on the Orange Line
• When: 4pm, we start walking @4:15.
• Snow or shine! (if the weather is a complete disaster, we'll sing on the T!)

We'll end at the Spontaneous Celebrations community center, 45 Danforth Street, very near to the Stony Brook stop (we'll have a chance to drop dishes off there at 4:15, before caroling). Free and open to merry singers of all ages, abilities, races, orientations, denominations, etc. Music and/or lyrics provided. Bring candle lanterns (Lantern Parade lanterns work great), weather-appropriate clothing and gloves, festive hats and scarves, mugs for drinking Wassail, if you want to be green, and your good cheer.

Organized by Joel Sindelar and the Loose Canon Chorale, the Caroling Mob has numbered from 30 to 75 singers in the past. Read about our 2006 expedition in the Boston Globe article A Caroling Mob Takes to the Streets, or check out our blog from mobs past.

It's hard to get a good photo of something so mercurial as a Caroling mob....
