National Public Radio’s Barbara Bradley Hagerty recently published a wonderful piece on Washington’s National Cathedral Boy Choristers. The written story, with an audio link, is located here.

The Story focuses largely on a 12 year old choir member, Nick Bairatchnyi, who offers this perspective on Christmas:

"When you're little, you always think Christmas is about presents. But then as you grow up, you really figure out what it means to celebrate Christmas — especially when you're singing in the choir," he says. "It's really about ... I don't want to say 'giving,' because that will sound really corny. But I mean, it is about giving and about being thankful for what you have, and pretty much thanking God for saving humanity."
