Coming Soon – #CarolingTO 2011!
And now that I don’t have to suffer through a holiday season in a retail environment with the same 13 songs playing on an endless loop I am totally in love with carols (both new and old) again.
So, to celebrate the fact that we love Christmas Carols we’re going caroling!
That’s right. An old fashioned caroling event that will make people turn their heads, stop in their tracks, smile and hopefully even sing along.
Here’s the plan
1) Meet at Yonge/Dundas Square at 7pm on Thursday, December 22nd.
2) Start singing Christmas Carols and have a great time doing it.
3) Take our show on the road and walk through the Eaton Centre as we continue to sing and spread holiday cheer to shoppers as they stressfully try to finish their lists.
4) Make a stop at Nathan Phillips Square to sing as we watch the skaters do laps and twirls and hold hands and be adorable.
5) Continue on down the street headed west through Queen Street and down to King West.
6) End at Grindhouse Burger Bar between 9:30 and 10:00 so we can all be at the start of the karaoke rotation with Jason Rolland.
Now, there are a lot of Christmas Carols out there. In fact, I’m thinking (and being reminded) of new ones on a daily basis. But so far this is the list that I’ve come up with for us to work from at #CarolingTO
