Here's something for your holiday calendar. It's Bluffton's oldest annual tradition.

Traditional new year's caroling/serenading of the two David Rothen hymns of pre-1840s will again be sung on Dec. 31, 2015, led by the Swiss Historical Society. 

Carolers will start at the lobby of Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 West Elm St., Bluffton, at 5 p.m.

For new singers, if any of you wish to come 15 minutes earlier, that's a chance for new folks to familiarize themselves with words and tunes of these traditional two
Swiss-German songs. Music sheets will be furnished.

After moving about in this building as a group, some may want to drive to Maple Crest and continue singing these songs. It can take as little as a half hour, or as long as 1 1/2 hours depending on how long an individualwants to sing.
