We’re gonna roast again today; and just in case I can’t finish the journey, I’m posting one of my favorite Christmas videos–Hugh Jackman, David Hobson, and Peter Cousen performing We Three Kings.
Christmas songs don’t have to be stark and solemn!
(What’s with the Christmas music?)
(Shh! He’s posting it in case they drag him back into the hospital at Christmas-time.)
This is as lively a Christmas carol as you’re going to get: We Three Kings, sung by Hugh Jackman, David Hobson, and Peter Cousen.
What’s this–a Christmas carol in June?
Well, that’s exactly what it is, and I’ve posted it because I need it… and maybe that goes for a lot of us.
You don’t have to wait for Christmas-time to celebrate Christmas. The Dominican friars, with Good Christian Men Rejoice.
I was way too weak and sick to do anything much for Christmas–although (thank God for this!) it really felt like Christmas.
I felt a need for a carol today, and this was the first that came along: Ding-Dong Merrily on High, sung by the King’s College Church Choir.
Who doesn’t need a nip of Christmas now and then?
Folklore buffs, historians, scholars, and all sorts of folks that been trying to decipher this Christmas carol. It goes back to the 18th century, and probably farther than that. Over the years, the lyrics changed again and again. The carol was popular in many different countries, and each country had its own version. England, Scotland, France, Iceland… just to name a few.
Sung here by Ray Conniff with the Ray Conniff singers.
Holy cow! Don’t tell me I never posted Silent Night! But it’s still Christmas here, so let’s post Silent Night–sung by the choir at Winchester Cathedral.
Yes, we’re still taking Christmas hymn requests.
Sorry, no nooze today. I invited readers to request it, but got no takers. So we’re doing Christmas songs and a little bit of other stuff.
Requested by Phoebe: Son of God, by Michael W. Smith
