In celebration, I'd like to show you some local holiday caroling held the last work day before Christmas at a local insurance company here in Binghamton, New York. This has become a tradition in our city, as employees line two staircases in the beautiful marble lobby of this ten story building (the third tallest in Binghamton), built in 1904.
For professional coverage, here is something from our Binghamton, New York newspaper.
Sorry for the lighting, and the iPhone zoom isn't that great, so I apologize for the blur.
This shot shows the majesty of the lobby. The three murals (there are also three murals on the right side of the lobby) are later additions to this historic building.
Here is a closeup. Just imagine passing these murals every day on the way to work.
And now for a selection from the 30 minutes of caroling.

What Child Is This, with a beautiful flute solo (be patient, the song didn't start on cue).
Silent Night, again with a beautiful flute solo.
Thank you, employees of Security Mutual!
If you love music, why don't you take a few minutes out and join Xmas Dolly and the other Elves under the mistletoe this Christmas day?

Silent night was the only Christmas Carol I ever learned about.
ReplyDeleteOh, the grandeur of the interior! Remember when people sang together at all sorts of meetings and public events? Thanks for sharing this fun tradition.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful decorations! What Child Is This and Silent Night are two of my favorite classic Christmas carols of all time. How festive and fun this looks. Thanks for sharing with the 4M gang. I hope you're having a quiet relaxing Christmas. Sending to you much love and hugs for a warm, tender evening with prayers for a wonderful new year to you and yours. XOXO ~Cathy
Merry Christmas Alana! Music does move me! I had my share of Christmas caroling this year, I mean the listening part of course as carolers from the local church came around spreading Christmas cheer. The videos you shared are lovely!
