This is one of the first Christmas House videos I ever saw and I was glad I could still find it on YouTube:
Funny thing … while I was watching it, a circuit breaker tripped in my house and the power went out. What a hoot! (Small things amuse me this time of year.)
Here’s another longer rockier vibier one:
For something a bit more intense, here’s a recording of the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, from which "Ode to Joy" is excerpted and associated with Christmas. Not sure how that came about exactly, but would like to figure it out sometime.
There was a time when I knew the entire chorus, in German, even though I didn’t (and still don’t) speak German. I guess I was younger and more bilingual then.
Hearing this always reminds me of the amazing things that human beings can do.
Just listen….
… and have a wonderful holiday season!
