Figgy Pudding

Here in Seattle there's a little annual Holiday tradition called Figgy Pudding. It's a fundraiser for the Food Bank at Pike Market. Every year the streets of downtown Seattle close down for a caroling competition - and crowds of people walk around and listen and vote for favorites and then the winners get called up to the main stage at the end for a "sing off". Anyone can assemble a caroling group, some are corporate groups like Starbucks or Amazon, and sometimes the groups are just friends who like to sing badly. Some of the singing is traditional, sometimes songs are sung to the tune of a Holiday favorite, but might be completely different in lyrics. It's a lot of fun, and we've attended it for the past few years with friends- super fun thing to do during the season.

This year we were a little weak in our participation. It was so cold that we couldn't get out of the apartment to see the carolers, but we made it down to the main area in time for the last of the finals. Oh well. Still awesome and fun to be a part of the crowd. 

And especially awesome that a certain friend brings the baby boozes to make the season even brighter. Woop woop!
