On December 6, 2014, thanks to live-stream technology, I enjoyed the 88th Annual Spelman‒Morehouse Christmas Carol Concert from the comfort of my abode.
I was not disappointed.
Combining the magnificent student voices from these two Atlanta single-sex colleges creates an inspirational musical ambiance.
See for yourself as you watch a short video archiving past Spelman‒Morehouse Christmas Carol Concerts.
Regardless of one's religious affiliations, events like these bring solace to all who attend. Brief respites recharge our souls and fill us with hope and joy, making all things possible, even peace on earth.
Today, I am sharing images from other women's colleges as they celebrate the holidays via Christmas Vespers, Concerts, and Candlelight Services. I hope these images inspire and delight you.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! More joy to all in 2015!
