Yes, it’s still Christmas-time here! And our carol contest is still ongoing.
Requested by SlimJim: O Come Let Us Adore Him, by Rosemary Siemens (I think).
Do I need to remind you that we’re offering a prize? Autographed book, cool T-shirt, little band of plastic army men… Sorry, but we couldn’t offer a bicycle.
I’m here! Late, but here.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, another go-round for The Little Drummer Boy, this one by Boney M.
Oh, this Christmas week is racing by too fast! Let’s keep those carols coming. The contest ain’t over till New Year’s.
It’s still the Christmas season here!
Requested by Phoebe: O Come All Ye Faithful, sung by the Yoder Family. Background sets by God the Father.
I wish our camera worked so I could show you our Christmas tree.
Yes, everybody, the Christmas Carol Contest is still on! Share your favorite carols! win fabulous prizes!
This morning, requested by SlimJim, we have We Three Kings sung by Anne Murray. I think she might’ve dropped a verse, but the rest is nice.
Wow! Phoebe found one for us–The Boar’s Head Carol, first published in `1521 but surely older than that: “Giving praise to God we sing!” This rendition is by Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior.
Serving the boar’s head for a Christmas feast would probably send me running screaming to the sidewalk–but way back then, it was a glory. And glory’s very much a part of Christmas.
Come on, come on! The Carol Contest isn’t over! Let’s see some nominations.
Gaudete (“Rejoice!”) is a wild, exuberant medieval Christmas carol–oh, but you don’t need me to tell you that. Click it on and enjoy it! Performed by the London Cello Orchestra and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge.
One of our friends out there usually requests this carol, but so far this year he hasn’t, so I thought I ought to go ahead and provide it myself.
The carol contest is not over, everyone! We’ll keep it going till New Year’s. So if you haven’t entered a Christmas hymn request yet, now’s the time to do it!
Meanwhile we have Once in Royal David’s City, sung by Daniel O’Donnell.
Phoebe has requested another go-round for Joy to the World–well, hey, it’s Christmas Day!
Isaac Watts’ classic Christmas hymn, performed here by Celtic Woman…
We’re going to watch The Princess Bride and have spare ribs for supper, and you’re all invited–cybernetically, of course: otherwise we don’t have enough room. You haven’t lived till you’ve had cyber-spare ribs.
Yes, I posted this video earlier in the contest; but Susan has asked for it, so here it is–We Three Kings, performed for Australia television by Hugh Jackman, David Hobson, and Peter Cousen… and with great enthusiasm.
Besides, I like it, too.
Phoebe asked for this one–Angels from the Realms of Glory. Posted by the Racine Bible Church: I wish I could tell you the singer’s name, but it has not been provided.
How many Christmas carols should I post today? But meanwhile it’s time to decorate the tree.
