We would carol through the neighborhood, following the lyrics on the Prudential pamphlet. Is there any way to get the whole pamphlet instead of just the cover/<br />?

One small troupe has been doing this in East Rutherford NJ EVERY Dec 23rd since the 1980's. <br />The friends are mostly past members of the Stevens Institute of Technology Glee Club. They were inspired to do this in honor of the founder and Director of the Stevens Glee Club - Professor William F. Ondrick. Each year he would have the Glee Club perform an evening of Christmas Songs on campus, complete with sing along. Then later he would host a Christmas party for the students, somehow making room for everyone in his home. <br />Everyone looked forward to those hours of song, fun and food.<br />In that same spirit we gather each Dec 23rd at the home of Connie and Joe DeFazio in East Rutherford NJ. (Both were members of the Glee Club and Connie, being an accomplished Music Teacher and Choir Director in her own right, took over the reigns of directing the Glee Club when Prof. Ondrick retired.)<br />The group tours the neighborhood singing the songs featured in that Prudential Insurance Pamphlet - in 4 part harmony of course!
