Dear Casablancalover, thanks for posting that sweet Walt Disney video. What beautiful animation, a work of art. Like watching an animated Christmas card from the Gilded Age via the 1940's. Reminds me that I haven't watched any of the good old Disney movies in years, and I should, this weekend. *The Lady And The Tramp*, *Fantasia*, *Alice In Wonderland*, *101 Dalmations* etc.

 

By the way, one of my favorite songs by *The Fifth Dimension* is *Carpet man* a great song that is all but forgotten.

 

Best wishes

I never have this blessed scene in mind when I hear this, and I have been in the King's College Chapel for services. I keep remembering the incredible devastation of Coventry during WW2 that I had studied at the fine RAF Museum at Duxford. An world-class museum of the War, along with the Cabinet War Rooms in London.

casablancalover, Thanks for the King's College Choir video. I love choral music.

 

My mother lived in England during WWII just a few miles from the Lancaster bomber factory

in Manchester. She said her only real memory of the blitz (she was only four years old), was of being dragged from her bed in the middle of the night and running down the street in her nighty with her eight (yes, eight, count 'em) brothers and sisters to the public air-raid shelter in the park. She remembered dropping Miss Lucy (her favorite dolly) but my grandparents wouldn't let her go back to get her because the bombs were already falling. They all survived, but Miss Lucy was never seen again.

 

More singing cherubs

 

*Libera - Gaudete (Rejoice)*

 

 

*Winchester Cathedral Choir - Lullay Myn Lyking*

*Celtic Thunder - Come By the Hills*

Not a Christmas song, but one of my mothers favorites

 

 

*Kyiv Chamber Choir - Liturgy of Peace*

One of the worlds great choirs from their stunning Liturgy of Peace CD

 

 

Best wishes

casablancalover, thank you for posting all the lovely Christmas music. I especially enjoyed the "Mr. McGoo's Scrooge" song, I'd forgotten about that, when I clicked the link and the song began, something way back in my brain that connected to my little kid memories was revived . I also remember the thieves, near the end of the story, celebrating their thieving ways (chorus goes " La! La! La La La La La !" -can't forget lyrics like that ;) ).

 

Anyway, thought you might enjoy this very mellow and pleasant Christmas song from the wonderful Dinah Washington. Her warm generous voice embraces the happy thought of "Ole Santa" :

(wish I could have found a video where you can see Dinah herself, but no matter...)
