If you don't know what a Carollama is, you need to make some serious changes in your life. Last night I had my first experience with llamas. And let me tell you, there is no better place to meet up with a llama than singing Christmas carols. Epic.
Bad picture of me... great picture of the llama. Here's the story. My ward decided that we were going to go Carollamaing for FHE. Basically we divided into groups, took a llama and started knocking on doors. It was awesome. About half way through this adventure, I was appointed official llama caretaker due of to my extensive knowledge of these creatures (I mean, I've seen The Emperor's New Groove at least a thousand times).
It went pretty well, but I noticed I was talking to the llama (my first mistake) like it was a seven year old. I don't know if that was very effective or not, but I will say this: At the end of the evening, no one was trampled by the llama, the llama did not escape from my custody and the llama wouldn't look at anyone else during the picture taking extravaganza. It obviously liked me more than everyone else.
The moral of this story is: find a llama, take it caroling. It might change your life.
