Something to jump start the holiday season

*sniff sniff*

My brother sent me this link today. I am always moved when people come together. Why don’t we do it more often and about truly important things? You can’t watch it and not get the spirit.

For those of you who get the big wad of mucus in your throat when you hear the Hallelujah chorus, (insert big sob)Β here you go:

  1. Awww Man…. I held out till the 1:14 mark on the first video. (I’d never seen this one before.) But tears showed up after only 40 seconds on the second. Hallelujah Chorus is my absolute favorite song…. EVER. [I have a huge connection from playing this on violin and cello in orchestra settings for six years.]

    You’re right Kate, my Christmas season has been jump-started… totally in the right direction. Thank You!

    I posted this to my Facebook page. Thank you, Kate.

    Makes me miss my high school choir. We used to put on a Christmas show every year and sing all these beautiful classic pieces. Thx for posting.
