Laughter Yoga Caroling Stroll
December 18
'Tis the season to be jolly, so if you want to get or share some holiday spirit, please join Laughter Yoga Venice in a caroling stroll on Venice Ave this Saturday, December 18th!
Meet us at the info kiosk located at 200 W.Venice Ave on Venice Island @10:45. You may want to familiarize yourself with one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums from 1961- good old Mitch Miller’s Holiday Sing Along!
While I would like encourage you to replace the words with Ha! Ha!’s, I know that seeing the actual words will be helpful and some of us may want to burst into the actual words! I will provide copies of the words and kazoos! So, you can Ha! Ha!, sing, hum, use a kazoo* or just be in the mix! Whatever works for you!
Go ahead and invite your friends to join us in some casual caroling after Laughter Yoga. Everyone is welcome to the Laughter Session too! There is no fee to participate in either event!
**Remember to wear some of your silliest or loveliest Christmas accessories and don’t forget that the LAUGHTER session is from 10-10:30 ... and then after we get ‘our inner lights aglow’ from laughing, we will bring ‘it’ to the streets with love and laughter!
I do hope you are in and can stroll along!
Looking forward to a jolly good time this Saturday!

Caroling at the Carillon!
Dec. 22 at 6:30pm
|
|
The Venice Carillon Foundation and the Venice Institute for Performing Arts invite the public to celebrate Christmas on Wednesday December 22 at 6:30pm, with a premiere – a community singalong to the sounds of the Andrew W. Crawford Memorial carillon, a 7-ton, 48-bell cast bronze musical instrument.
14 traditional Christmas carols will be played on the carillon by resident carillonneur Wylie Crawford with a choral quartet leading the song. Mr. Crawford has been playing the carillon since 1974 at the University of Chicago and was President of the World Carillon Federation for 11 years. He has played recitals across the United States and in a dozen countries from Japan to the Netherlands.
Lyrics will be projected on a large screen. All you need to bring is your voice and your enthusiasm.
