Thank you to Jim Adams, who hosts Song Lyric Sunday and gives us the chance to share lots of familiar, and some not so familiar, songs.
If you fancy sharing one of your favourite songs you can find out how to participate, and also listen to all the great entries, here.
Of course, it’s only natural that the prompts are what they are, and there really is a lot to choose from for Christmas music. I’m not going to be giving you lots of detail about my choices this week because Christmas is all about joy, sharing, giving, children, love, and a little respite from the stress and strains of this cut and thrust life we all seem to be part of now.
I’d like to share a little bit of joy with you all, and to thank Jim, for hosting this weekly share of music for this year, Helen Vahdati who started this great weekly event, and all of the participants and readers who are part of it all. May you all have a blessed Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year ahead.
Please enjoy the music of Trans Siberian orchestra.
Firstly with the magic of Christmas Eve for a little girl. Will she get back before her mother catches her?
There’s SNOW AND KITTENS!
and secondly, if you must have lyrics, then here we have Christmas Canon. You’re watching the official music video for Trans-Siberian Orchestra – “Christmas Canon” from the album ‘The Christmas Attic’ (1998). “Christmas Canon” is set to the tune of Pachelbel’s “Canon in D”.
and an alternative recording with lyrics on screen:

Our house is full of noise at the moment so it was lovely to find a quiet place to enjoy these.

Lovely music Peter. I wrote to Helen Vahdati about 3 weeks ago and I have not herd back from her as yet. I need to listen to more Trans-Siberian Orchestra as they are really great. The children singing on stage in the fog look like little angels up in heaven.

Absolutely beautiful! Cannot have Christmas without the music of the Trans Siberian Orchestra! Loved the daring little girl in the first video, and the children’s voices in the second are pitch perfect! Thanks for a great holiday share!
Merry Christmas! 😊🎄

That first video gave me the creeps. I know it was supposed to be touching but the interspersing of those images was unsettling. Merry Christmas all the same.

I think the little girl was time travelling, perhaps in her dreams. Wouldn’t you love to do that?

The Christmas Canon is one of my favorite songs. It is amazing how beautiful Pachelbel’s Canon is and how often it keeps coming back.
