My Favorite Christmas Memory

Sister Rosanne Mensik fondly remembers a family tradition from the 1950s in Connecticut. "My dad was Glee Club and Choir director of St. John the Nepomucene. My favorite memory is going singing with my dad and the choir, who would carry a cupcake with a lit candle. Sometimes a choir member carried it, and sometimes my dad did. We would go around the neighborhood with the cupcake and candle, with the choir singing "Happy Birthday, Jesus" and Christmas carols. We went door-to-door and everyone felt like family."
