The Christmas Carol Singalong began when Walter Vaux (in wheelchair), a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Port Townsend, was approached by a friend. An elementary school teacher, she expressed concern that the children in her class never heard the traditional Christmas carols, as the schools were no longer allowed to sing them.
