Merry Christmas from the monks!

Posted on December 25, 2017 by Kate Crimmins

This is becoming one of my favorite traditions. I love this video. I’ve posted it before but I am always moved by it. There is a newer version done by the same group but it’s too perfect. Part of the charm is hearing the audience laughter and the slight imperfections of the monks. This is worth three minutes of your time!

I can assure you that any Christmas concert I was in as a child was not near this entertaining!

Funny monks! I have Christmas Vacation on the background ~ Clark got the lights lit and “Alleluiah” started playing there and here at the same time. 😀

  I had to watch it 10 times while I was setting it up to post and laughed every time. There is a sterile version (no woman laughing and no shaky camera) but it’s not the same.
