Bringing the joy of Advent and the promise of Christmas into the
marketplace, some 150 Thomas Aquinas College students descended earlier this month upon The
Oaks shopping mall in Thousand Oaks, California, to stage a choral
“flash mob.”
After stealthily gathering around the mall’s central Christmas display — by the Santa Claus photo center — the students simultaneously burst into song. They began with “Joy to the World” and “The First Noel,” and then concluded with a rousing rendition of “O Holy Night.” The mall’s surprised customers and employees seemed to delight in the performance, stopping whatever they were doing to take in the music, to sing along, and to cheer afterward.
