Those that know me well know I'm not much of a Christmas person.

This year, this time of year, I often joke that my heart is a lump of coal.

I've been called a grump, a Scrooge, a grinch, and in many ways that has not changed.

But these feelings don't stop me from acknowledging beauty when I hear it from the mouths f middle schoolers singing, echoing through the atrium of my hometown City Hall.

And that, my friends, is what joy sounds like.
