Cypress Holiday Sing

As the end of 2022 approaches, celebrations and seasonal events are on our radar. Last year, we weren’t able to celebrate the end of 2021 together as much due to the ongoing COVID pandemic. Since the pandemic has slowly been dying down, we are able to enjoy the seasonal fun again! On December 6th, the city of Cypress celebrated the holiday season with the annual Cypress Holiday Sing at the Cypress Civic Center. Conveniently being right in front of our school, OA Key Clubbers were able to help out with the event.

Along with the singing show, there were many other various activities going on, including crafts, games, food trucks, and more! As the event officially started at 6 PM, we were helping the area get ready. I helped out at the crafts area. We set up tables for kids to decorate bags where they could put prizes in. There was also a holiday crafts booth of making holiday ornaments. By 6 PM, the area became crowded and busy as people were watching the caroling and also getting food at the food trucks. Although it was very cold, the Civic Center warmed up as the community joined to celebrate the holiday season together.

As we go into the new year, I hope more people get to make tiem to go volunteer and have fun with their friends. Volunteering at these service events is actually very fun to participate in especially when you ’ re with other friends!
