RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) is a wonderful spy drama with Bruce Willis. A retired spy's simple life is interrupted at Christmas when he's put on an Exterminate! list.

I have never heard of this film till right now.
It sounds like fun in a “Mad Mad Mad World” jambalaya kind of way.

**Oh, since you mentioned the ‘Magic Word’ of Christmas,
I have been triggered.
I’m thinking of two Xmas related tunes I like.
A. Carol of The Bells
B. Waltz of The Flowers from The Nutcracker.

To that RED YouTube person ... Extremely offensive to Christians to “X” out Christ in Christmas. Just sayin’.

It’s truly my sort of movie. Crazy and fun. RED is better than RED 2 because it’s funnier. In my opinion.

I’ve never done Waltz of the Flowers. Suggestions for a show?

Can’t imagine why you like the X wiped out for funny videos. And it’s shorter. Which is important when you’re doing titles. But each to their own.

I suppose ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ could be used as a parody to present some kind of kooky fashion show.
A parade of puppies in their knitted Christmas sweaters and vests.

I’m practicing singing O Holy Night for Church, and it got me thinking of this version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p0ptkrc844

Oh, that was wonderful. And, yes, it reminded me of high school choir. Good memories. Candles and dark auditorium. What else are you singing?

Looks like more people in the choir than my little country Church draws for Christmas. For Christmas, maybe 100-120 people show up at my little Church.

Country is good. My town has about 10K people, and my high school had 800. That means lots of smiles when you pass people on the street because so many become familiar. And so many people who share your memories.

My favorite version of the song:

Minuit, Chrétiens (Christians, it's midnight aka O Holy Night)--Georges Thill (1932)

The X in Xmas stands for Christ--Χριστού (Christos) in Greek.

I upstarred it. Great version. Still remember the choir nun forcing the emotion out of us for the Fall on your knees!

This is my all-time favorite Christmas recording. It was written and composed by Amanda Kennedy in 1918.

Nice version. Though I sing bass, so I could never hit those notes. 20 years ago when in my early 20’s the highest note I could get to was E flat.

Right. I learned a lot of Greek in seminary helping my boyfriend (more than one, actually 😁) study. Most people don’t, though, and it has a negative connotation.
