Christmas Chimes


Every Christmas Eve at my Grandma Genny's we play carols on pipe chimes. My Aunt Peggy made them years ago and we have been playing for as long as I can remember. Someone holds the chart with the words and numbers and everybody else gets a chime. When your number comes up you hit the chime with a nail. At the end of every song everyone bangs their chimes at the same time. It is crazy, noisy fun. Hayden and Ty are getting old enough that they can participate with very little help. This is my favorite tradition and it would be Christmas without it.
