It’s that time of year. The season for hanging ornaments on trees, giving out presents, and filling the air with the uplifting music of the Christmas season. This past month, the Payson Choir did just that.

            On December 12, they started into the spirit of Christmas by singing at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. They continued to bless others with their musical talents by performing their annual Christmas Concert exactly one week later. The concert was called “Carols with a Twist” because it took traditional songs such as Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, and Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy and added a new element to it. Choir members sold Poinsettias previous to their performance to raise money for the event.

            Apart from simply singing, the choir is involved in helping others in need.

“The choir is really close to the community,” commented Kim Skousen.

This past month, they contributed an evergreen tree to the Festival of Trees, a charitable event where Christmas trees are auctioned off in order to raise money for families who are in need this time of year.

            Apart from singing and helping the community, the choir is impressive simply for the people that are in it. Many choir members enjoy the class simply for the social aspect of it.

            “I like singing with friends and making music,” said David Green.

            Whatever the reason, choir members have certainly blessed the lives of those throughout their school, and community this past month.
