I seem to remember it from an episode of Frasier when his dad could not sing the high note! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I am also particularly fond of: Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day (my daughter's absolute favourite) Jesus Christ the Apple Tree Plus a couple of Welsh carols (sung in Welsh, of course!)--oddly sad and haunting: Tua Bethlem Dref Ar Fore Dydd Nadolig When my daughter comes to our house for a 10-day visit from grad studies in Cleveland (OH) over the Christmas break, our house will be filled with traditional Christmas carols and transformed into a Christmas decoration wonderland--she is the ultimate Christmas warrior! Her fiance, who will also be staying with us, is Jewish, but he is quite genuinely charmed by her enormous love for the holiday and enjoys it very much. Since neither of them wants to convert, they have joined a very inclusive Unitarian Universalist fellowship, which seems to have solved the differing faiths issue!

You can hear excerpts of all the songs by clicking on the following title (my favorite song from the CD): *Let us the Infant Greet* Let us the Infant greet In worship before Him fall And let us pay Him homage meet On this His festival. Let us to the Infant sing And bring Him of gifts rich store Let us honour our Infant King With praise for evermore. Let us to the Infant kneel And love Him with faithful love And let our joyous anthems peal For Him who reigns above. Glad hymns in the Infant's laud Sing we to Him while we may In heaven where He is throned as God Our service He will pay. Be we to the Infant true While we are dwelling on mould And He will give us our wages due A crown of purest gold. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
