What would happen if I just ran a whole bunch of hymns and carols today? Would the readership get bored and go away?
I don’t know. Let’s see what happens.
This is from my chess buddy, “jessicafischerqueen”–Andrea Bocelli singing Adeste Fideles–and I do mean singing.
Here’s another one I haven’t heard before. Requested by SlimJim, Light of the Stable, sung here by Selah.
Enter our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest and win an autographed book!
Wow! Who are these guys? They’re in a movie called A Castle Christmas.
Requested by Phoebe, a Christmas favorite, Good King Wenceslas. He wasn’t called a king until after his death, but he was always known for his goodness.
Here’s a beautiful carol that I’d never heard before.
Requested by Phoebe: How Unto Bethlehem This Pilgrimage of Kings, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers.
Okay, we’re back to our carol contest! The winner gets an autographed book.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, Angels We Have Heard on High, sung by the Christendom Choir and Schola Gregoriana.
The winning carol will be the one with the most views on the day it was requested. So far the leader has 25 views.
What kind of God sends a baby to take away the sins of the world?
Our kind!
Requested by Phoebe, sung by the Kings College choir at Cambridge University, Infant Holy, Infant Lowly.

I want to encourage readers to enter our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest, especially anyone who hasn’t entered already–but I don’t have any entries yet this morning.
So let’s get the ball rolling with this–Ding-Dong Merrily on High, by the Idaho Falls Symphony Orchestra with half a dozen high school choirs>> a spirited rendition!
If ever we needed tidings of comfort and joy, we need them now. And we’ve got them–in the birth of our Savior and our King, our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Requested by Joshua: God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, sung with gusto by the Bach Choir.
Back to the Christmas Carol Contest–It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, and you can’t beat Burl Ives. Requested by Phoebe.
And I have to get off this accursed computer because it’s not working and it took me ten minutes to write these two lines.
We don’t have any new entries yet today in our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest, so let me offer this–Good Christian Men Rejoice, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers. Don’t worry, I’m not entering my own contest. Just hoping some of you who haven’t entered yet will come on board.
