With The Christmas Tour Around the Corner, Let's Do Some Reminiscing - JNT 2005

Clay's Christmas In The Heartland Tour begins on Monday, November 26. Of course we are all looking forward to either being there in person or seeing the clack that comes from all the concerts.

But before that show, let's remember back to Clay's second Joyful Noise Tour. The year was 2005, and the tour was going to include not just Christmas songs but also a Christmas play that Clay himself had written. I think by the time the first performance was over, we had all fallen in love with the play as well as the message the play conveyed..a widow who lived alone had lost the spirit of Christmas and a young boy helped bring the spirit of giving and love that goes with Christmas back into her home. Clay's songs told the story right along with the script. The message was beautiful, touching, and applicable for pretty much all of us.

To help remind us of Christmas 2005, here are some pictures from the tour. Maybe it will inspire you to reach out and make a difference in someone's life this Christmas. And remember...don't save it all for Christmas day!

Clay's Picture Perfect Tours: Part 6 - The Joyful Noise Tour 2005

The Joyful Noise Tour 2005...and what a joyful noise it gave to us. Not only did we get to hear some of the most beautiful Christmas songs sung by the voice perfectly made for those songs, but we got to share in a festive and inspirational story written by none other than Clay Aiken. A story with a message of sharing Christmas with those we love, celebrating the holiday with friends and family, and giving to others 365 days a year. Personally, I watched this program 5 times, and I could have watched it that many more and still not been tired of it.

Again, we asked some of the fans from The Clayboard to give us so me of their treasured memories of this Christmas show. Here are a few of those:

Rainlover - Singing Beautiful Star of Bethlehem to his grandfather.

Rpoppert - DSIAFCD!!!! Good News. Star of Bethlehem, sung to his grandfather. The whole play written by Clay was beautiful.

Riversend22 - My greatest memory from this tour was getting to meet Clay in a meet and greet for the first time. He looked so beautiful.

Kildeerclaygal - He brought me to tears with "Good News" at JNT05
Treking through 12 inches of snow to Waukegan last Christmas for a fabulous show and a wonderful dinner with my fellow Claymates!!

LuvTacos - But the one that stands out is KC, JNT 05...the night we had the battery operated candles and held them up during DSIAFCD. It was a night that Clay probably really needed a huge hug and he got one, via the candles. The look on his face, I will never forget.

Sugar4clay - Christmas tour with the play...we traveled to Denver to visit friends and see this show. He was starting to reveal his true self to his fans, and it felt very close and warm.

Every tour has its own set of special memories. Thanks to Clay, we have more memories than could even fit in the Grand Canyon.

Next time we'll remember the Joyful Noise Tour 06. Now, here are some photo and YouTube memories of JNT 05.
