It is a tradition afterall.

Every year my community has a Carol Festival around this time.
It's a tradition.
We all gather in the Rec Centre, sing Christmas carols together and listen to brave people sing solos or duets or trios. The school bands always play.
(Except for this year.)
It's a tradition.
Every year I do something at the Carol Festival. Sometimes I sing with a couple other people, the past couple years it's just been me and my guitar.
And every year while I'm preforming my face turns bright red.
It's a tradition.
