CHRISTMAS GREETINGS




On this most precious day, I wish all the dear readers of the Red Cardinal Blog the Blessings of Christmas, Peace and Joy for you and your families.  Have a beautiful Christmas Day.


My Choir for Ladies of a Certain Age has been singing John Rutter's 'Candlelight Carol' this season, and I enjoy it so very much.

  4. Merry Christmas, Trish, to you and your family. The Choir for Ladies are beautiful singers! I especially love less common Christmas music. (The stores tend to over play the secular pop Christmas songs for 6 weeks.) The background music in this video (featuring a harp and flute?) blends perfectly with the lovely voices.

    Enjoy Christmas week, leading up to the New Year!

    1. Thank you Debra. So true, the stores version of Christmas songs can set my teeth on edge! Have an enjoyable seasonal break - is it snowing in New York?

    2. The weather here has gotten strange in recent years. Today it is not cold enough to snow, and tomorrow will be a mild 58 degrees F with rain. But New Years Eve, there is the prediction of snow flurries because the temperature is expected to drop. Lately we get extremes in the same week!
