@bus114 @goingpostal1000 Since this keeps coming up,and since I organized it I need to state that yes, flash mobs aren't new. I've been working online for many years and am absolutely aware of this. We weren't trying to be cutting edge. We never stated that we were. We did this for our community (it had never been done where we live) and for the choir to have fun and most importantly- to bring a smile and holiday joy to people. Does that ever get old? If it does,I don't want to know about it. ;)

@loraleechoate I just received this link, and today is my birthday...I loved this clip and hope that someday I might see a flash mob live. Yours brought a smile and tears of joy! Thanks all the work it must have taken. :)

Thanks for all of the wonderful, encouraging comments everyone. We have had a great response locally as well from our community. They loved the idea of bringing a little Christmas cheer during a day when much of that cheer seems elusive. Please feel free to communicate with us on our Facebook Fan Page facebook.com/pages/American-Fe­stival-Chorus and on Twitter @AmFestChorus. We love interacting with our fans!

@Goingpostal1000 - man, that's exactly what i thought right from the beginning! talk about staged and everyone knew it. in all the years i've visited that mall, there's never been more than a 100 people milling around - even at thanksgiving and christmas. bet all the stores were disappointed to have the huge crowd there and still no sales!

Pretty cool. Nice job everyone that participated! Happy Holidays!

There is something so good and warming about people coming together to sing and dance just for the pure pleasure of it. In my mind, giving joy to others-especially when no money exchanges hands-requres no other justification.
