The Animals' Christmas

December 13, 2015 by Liz Holmes

So a long time ago, Lisa and her fabulous husband gave me this record. Yes -- they gave me the actual record-record. We are all that old. And I love it so much. I hope you do, too!

  • The Animals' Christmas (1986) 
  • performed by Art Garfunkel and Amy Grant
  • with the London Symphony Orchestra and the King's College School Choir
  • Music and lyrics by Jimmy Webb

All organ pieces recorded at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City.

And here is another lovely, lovely book about the birth of Jesus, here on the Third Sunday of Advent. In the Catholic Church we call today "Gaudete Sunday" because in the middle of Advent reflection and preparation, we are reminded to "REJOICE!" Here at the darkest time of the year, the birth of the Savior draws ever closer! And this book describes the rejoicing that took place throughout nature on the night of the Baby's birth. Gorgeous!

Advent, Lisa, how can I keep from singing?
