Let's sing Christmas carols, just like in old movies but with more boogie I suspect ??? All bodies, all ages, all genders.
Yes, your brother's ex-roommate's new girlfriend's dentist is welcome to join us too! The more, the merrier, literally ☺️?

Do Not let Outfit worries keep you away, for goodness sake. Seriously, just come! ?
SONGS: I'll post a Spotify list of possible songs in the comments for anyone who wants to brush up on the lyrics in advance

- (1) big sound Bluetooth speaker to play background music for some of the songs
- (unlimited) snacks and treats to share. Homemade is lovely but anything you would eat is great. Be prepared to answer questions about ingredients/allergens
- (1-4) handheld bell instruments for that nice jingle bell effect!
- (1) if someone could print out lyrics of the songs to share, that would be nice
- (unlimited) if you're a musician who wants to play your guitar/flute/whatever ? along with our singing, please do!
- (unlimited) extra cash or extra BART/clipper cards to give to anyone in our group who can't afford one. NOTAFLOF! Community Care. We support our own.
