Our visitors started arriving at 7pm. Last year, the younger children played a couple of carols with bells before we all sang together, but we didn't have time to practice for this year, so decided on something a little different. Jess, Beka and Amy sang "O Holy Night" and Karli, Sam and I joined them to sing "Silent Night."
Everybody joined in then with the other carols such as "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Joy To The World," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" to name a few.
Dessert followed along with chatting and a game of Articulate for the older children, which we didn't get to finish as the party began to break up at 11:30.
And, of course, we had to discuss it all when everyone had gone and ended up getting to bed at 2:15.
All in all, the night passed very nicely and Mum has already started planning for the next one :)

I'm going to leave a comment now so I can get some chocolates, since Mr. Colins is so generous with his money.

It looks like you guys all had a bunch of fun! My family and I, along with our church are going to have a Christmas Caroling party thing in about a week. I can't wait! Thanks for commenting on my blog ;)
It shall not work! No other shall receive my chocolates unless they be the charming Miss E. Bennet, or, of course, a young woman going by the name of Charlotte.
