‘Gaudete’
This little intro is taking forever to type–the mouse spits out gibberish, I have to delete it and try again.
Gaudete, a medieval hymn performed by the London Cello Orchestra and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge–I usually reserve it for Christmas-time: but we could all use some pumping-up, can’t we?
By Request, ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’
Christians have been loving this hymn for some 800 years.
Requested by Valerie, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel–the name means “God with us.”
Hymn, ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’

Well, now comes the enormous job of setting up our Christmas tree. This year we have a duck for Christmas dinner. And tomorrow, the always-exciting ride on the Garden State Parkway, aka Ben Hur’s Chariot Race, to see my sister and brother.
I’ll try to get back to you all again before the day is over; but if I can’t, then a Merry Christmas to all!
