We Have a Carol Contest Winner!

Yes, we have a winner in our annual Christmas Carol Contest! In fact, we have two winners, tied with 25 views apiece for the carols that they nominated.

And the winners are Phoebe, for How Unto Bethlehem, and Elder Mike for We Three Kings. 

Prizes! Well, you have a choice. An autographed book in my Bell Mountain series–and you can hold out for the next one, Behold!, if you don’t mind waiting; A red T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost”; or a little bag of plastic army men for when you’re feeling nostalgic. (Sorry, the gold mask of Tutankhamen is no longer available.)

Guess I’d better play We Three Kings, too.

By Request, ‘How Unto Bethlehem’

Requested by Phoebe, another entry in our annual Christmas Carol Contest: How Unto Bethlehem, by the Robert Shaw Chorale.

Would you believe it? The lead in the contest has not changed hands since the day we started it. Unheard of!

By Request, ‘How Unto Bethlehem the Pilgrimage of Kings’

Here’s another one I’d never heard before: requested by Phoebe, How Unto Bethlehem the Pilgrimage of Kings?, sung by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Can anybody identify the artist whose work illustrates this hymn?
