One of my favorite Christmas recordings was a version of White Christmas recorded in 1954 by the Drifters. It features the wonderful falsetto of Clyde McPhatter. Some years ago Joshua Held created an animation of the tune that really captured the 1950's aesthetic. Enjoy!

Great old Christmas recordings there. Speaking of Feliz Navidad, a good friend who is a cartoonist made wood block Christmas cards this year. Here's what the front looks like…

Doesn't quite make sense until you open it up to see
Fleas Navidad. :roll:

Somehow the crude print and silly pun are a perfect complement.

Let there be Peace on Earth and in all your lives as Christmas arrives in all its glory!

I keep hearing a phrase of a song in my head this morning..."Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!" I hadn't heard it in forever so looked up the words...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DxNpW1kHQ (This is so beautiful it made me cry!.. I know :roll: ... I cry happy tears a lot. ;) :D )

Love you all always!
Sandy

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step i take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.

(child)
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With god as our father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

Sandy!

Thanks so much for sharing that. I actually just heard that song for the first time within the last couple years, I think. I had never even heard of it before… it moved me so much when I caught wind of it playing on my sister's track list. It is such a simple but earnest message that begs repeating.

I know what you mean about happy tears. Although it's not always the case, I tend to find myself releasing those a lot more than I expect, and to be honest I love it.

Love
Lucky

We dropped by at Winchester Cathedral to partake in singing at the Christmas Carol Service. The choir, as ever, sublime...their sounds, kindled spiritual tingles of delight. Although it was packed to the rafters, we squeezed behind a pillar and watched a lighted candle procession, listening in awe at the performance of the choir. What a wonderful service.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Anya :loves :kiss: :D

If anyone likes choral christmas music, here's a clip.
