Just a brief note to wish all or any readers a very happy Christmas indeed! This evening our Youth Choir sang the music for the Vigil Mass and led our parish in south London into the feast. Now our waiting is at an end; make you merry as our ancestors did! Pour brandy over the Christmas pudding and set it alight, put the radio on for the Nine Lessons and Carols, and don't forget the Queen at three! May the feast glow with the same world-surprising wonder that first brought the rough-hewn shepherds of old to their knees. We have as much cause to kneel, and to wonder, as they did.
Here's an ancient hymn — this isn't our choir! — from the choristers of Ely Cathedral.
