I agree with Ded Moroz, I like the second one more, but both are terrific.

I am fussy about my Christmas music, but when it's good, you can't deny it.

In response to "Humor Advice from ChatGPT"

Thank you so much for sharing that. It was genuinely fascinating and surprisingly educational. I sometimes worry that I come across a little too serious, but we all muddle through in our own ways, don’t we? I’m really glad you took the time to write this. It gave me a new way to think about things, and I appreciate that more than you know.

Warmly,
Tee

In response to "Day One: Carol of the Bells, by Simply Three"

Amethyst Angel, this version of "Carol of the Bells," reminded me of the version by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Classic Music with a techno beat and I go way back. I found the Ferry Corsten version of Barber's Adagio years ago, and it remains one of my all-time favorites in that genre.

Sorry if this is a shock to the system to find out that a retiree likes music with a heavy techno beat. But in my defense, there is a much younger man, hanging out in this aging body, waiting for the Lord Jesus to return. Then, I can be young, again, during His Millennial Reign.

I'm with Brandiwyn🎶

on this one. Just look up, "Carol of the Bells" (all genres), and see how many versions there are. I just did, and found a YouTube video, that was nearly a half-hour long with at least a dozen versions of it.

Sorry for the long comment, but "Carol of the Bells" is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Can you tell?

In response to "Day One: Carol of the Bells, by Simply Three"

I agree with you. Comes off as very angry as opposed to mellow cello. Of course, I was listening to Via Dolorosa on handbells earlier, a peaceful contrast in style. It's interesting how it doesn't translate well to strings. Just my opinion.

In response to "Day One: Carol of the Bells, by Simply Three"

It's the "Ding, fries are done!" song.

It's also arguably *the* most popular recital song that all our kiddos want to learn this time of year on their various instruments.

In response to "TMI and Thankfulness"

I'm 71 (and still going strong, I might add). But in one phase of my life, I spent 13 years in the Army. One thing I learned from those years that I always remember is "Rest is a weapon."

I try and remember that doing nothing IS something. Don't underestimate to power a little rest will have on you. I'm glad you have some downtime.

Day Three: Little Drummer Boy, by The Jackson 5

I remember remarking here last year that I never could bear to hear anyone singing Little Drummer Boy because it's just so inane. I tried listening to For King and Country doing it, and good grief, I had to turn it off less than halfway in. Well, I'm not even sure how I discovered it, but sometime between then and now, I found a vocal rendition I actually like: by the Jackson 5.

I didn't even know who the Jackson 5 were at the time. I looked them up and found that they were the band formed by Michael Jackson and his four brothers when they were kids. Which is like “aww…” I don't like Michael Jackson, but knowing he was a kid once… How quaint.

I think the little boy's voice is perfect for this. It makes much more sense than if adults try to sing it. The “pa rum pa pum pums” are not idiotic anymore, and we can hear the innocent sincerity with which he sings as if it were a true story. The climax even gives me a bit of a chill, as Mary nods and the ox and mule keep time for the boy to play his best for Baby Jesus. I'm glad I found this.
