The second day of Christmas

The Young People's Chorus of New York City singing the 12 days of Christmas, and Jingle Bells

Three Christmas songs to start your weekend

 The first by Broadway's own Michael Winther giving Let There Be Peace On Earth the Judy Garland treatment with a smidge of Mariah Carey thrown in:

 Then there's "Stop The Cavalry" by English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jona Lewie:

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy
Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight, almost every night
Down throughout these centuries
That is when I say, oh yes yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?
Mary Bradley waits at home
In the nuclear fall-out zone
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love

(Dub a dub a dumb dumb)
(Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum)
(Dub a dub a dumb dumb)
(Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum)

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Bang! That's another bomb on another town
While the Tsar and Jim have tea
If I get home, live to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry

(Dub a dub a dumb dumb)
(Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum)
(Dub a dub a dumb dumb)
(Dub a dub dubadum dubadum dub a dub dubadum)

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She's has been waiting two years long

Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Speaking of La Carey:

And last but certainly not least, Knitters in Nairn in the Scottish Highlands making post box toppers..

4th day of Hanukkah

 Wanted to share this Hanukkah holiday song with you.

Poor person with the other microphone in the first group never gets to sing on camera. My favorite part is the duet following the trumpet. FINALLY some harmony and hints what the lyrics migth mean.
