Royal Albert Hall

On Saturday night, Carl and I went with our friends, Pete and Marcia, to the Royal Albert Hall for a Christmas Carol Sing-a-long. The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful concert hall - and it was filled with the orchestra, a large choir, and an audience of merry-making folks in the holiday spirit. Some members of the audience wore Santa hats, others decorated themselves with Christmas tree lights. At various times throughout the evening, members of the audience sang the songs, clapped to the music, stood up and danced , and kept a 'wave' going on around the hall. We had a great time.

We were surprised to note that there were two or three songs that none of the four of us recognized; we had not heard them before. One of those songs we didn't know was introduced as the most popular Christmas song in England.
