Yes, I am agnostic.
But as you see my family and I do love to celebrate Christmas our way - joyful and without any hectic.
Indeed, when thinking of you having such wonderful days as we are allowed to live I do feel happy for you. :)
Thus:
Merry Christmas to you and the yours!
And what would Christmas be without wonderful music.
As most of you would not understand the original German version by Josef Mohr (1816) I thought you might like to listen "Silent Night" in Gaelic. :)
And as it was not on his list, the following song I dedicate to a very special Yorkshireman living in Russia:
May you decide, which version you like best. Here's to you, James! :)
The "Ave Maria" by Mario Lanza, (in the film "The Great Caruso), by Luciano Pavarotti, (Christmas 1975 in Notre Dame) and by Sarah Brightman.

no news for a reader of yours.
Birmingham winning 3:0 surely completed your contentment. :)
Guten Tag Sean,
ReplyDeleteFrom me, too, best wishes for the next year.
I was listening to Enyia's "Stille Nacht" in Gaelic. Splendid. We have several recordings from her and I always thought that she is a great musician in every respect. Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers
