*Sigh* The first video I posted wouldn’t play, and now I’m out of order–so here’s the first entry in our annual Christmas Carol Contest–Joy to the World, requested by Phoebe, written by Isaac Watts in 1719 and still going very, very strong! Sung in an open-air train by students at Fountainview Academy.
Our annual Christmas Carol Contest starts the day after Thanksgiving–or would have, if my head was on straight. I forgot it until almost suppertime.
So it’ll have to start tomorrow instead (someone please remind me in the morning!), when I’ll explain the terribly complicated rules and eligibility, etc., etc.
Meanwhile, we can all go to bed with visions of opulent prizes dancing in our heads. Well, all right, not mine–it wouldn’t be in good taste for me to win my own contest. But for everyone else, you can enter as often as you like.
It’s never too early for a Christmas hymns; at least, not around here, it isn’t.
Requested by Susan: O, Holy Night, performed by the Celtic Trio backed up by an Irish choir.
There has never been a time when we didn’t need our Savior.
Here we have Boney M again, this request coming from Mike in the Philippines: Mary’s Boy Child. Okay, it’s a Christmas carol–but who am I to say no to Christmas?
Scotland and the Philippines, on opposite sides of the world, calling for the same artist on the same day…
