We have two traditions here called Mut's Bean Feed and the Annual Christmas Sing. This is the stuff that makes me love small towns. One day, someone decided it would be a great tradition to feed the entire town beans, then march them up to the park for a round of Christmas Carols.
It was raining today, but that didn't stop a crowd from lining up for two blocks for Mut's famous beans. There was also a sizable turn out for the Christmas Sing, which our paper sets up each year right after the feed. Various businesses and organizations have sung the same Christmas carols for decades. We haven't changed them for copyright reasons.
The best part is we get paid to do this, and then everyone goes home early.
Lesson learned: The mics at the Christmas Sing are much more powerful than people realize, meaning, you get to hear all the before and after comments people make without them knowing.

If you're hooked on beans now, I can make a pot for Christmas, instead of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce???
