Christmas By Song

O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)

This section takes an individual Christmas song and then provides you with as many different artists performing it for you to enjoy.

We will not be playing all the artists and versions that we have. We don't have the space, but we feel you'll get enough variations to enjoy yourself.

Background Information: The Englishman, John Francis Wade, wrote both the words and the music, Adeste Fideles. The Musical score was first published in 1782 in Samuel Webbe's An Essay on the Church Plain Chant in 1782. John Francis Wade first included it in his own 1751 publication of Cantus Diversi. The lyrics were first published in 1760.

If you hear someone using tissues, it's MoJo. This song has watery effects.

To our British and Aussie allies, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Children's Christmas Music From Around The World

The music below is safe for all kids! We have Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa songs from kids around the world!
All of the music is geared specifically for children.

Warning: This section mentions Jesus quite a lot. Just so no one writes MoJo to tell her that there's too much Jesus and why I chose to do so.

Answer: CAUSE I CAN!

Christmas By Song

Hark! The Herald Angel Sings

Background Info:

Charles Wesley (his brother, John Wesley, founded the Methodist church) is credited with authoring over 3,000 hymns. The lyrics to Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (1739) is one of them. Actually, what he wrote is "Hark how all the welkin rings/Glory to the King of Kings." ("Welkin" means, apparently, "heaven".) A colleague, the Calvinist Whitfield, substituted the familiar opening line over the protests of the author. Thank welkin for Whitfield. Click here for more information.

Christmas By Song

Joy To The World

Background Info: Joy to the World
The words and lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was demonstrated when he choose to attend Nonconformist Academy at Stoke Newington in preference to a University. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of an Independent congregation. He wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree by the the University of Edinburgh in 1728. The music to the carol is by George Frederick Handel (1685-1759).

MoJo Thought:
Have you ever noticed while reading articles that when referring to GOD that many folks decide to write it *G-D*? What is that? Is it supposed to mean that it is less potent and offensive by keeping the *o* from appearing? My suggestion to these folks isn't to use God at all. If you can't add the *o*, don't write it. This is true for those of you that believe or don't.

Quit insulting children, will you? Children eventually learn shooting oneself in the foot repeatedly will require oneself to walk on crutches.

I'm glad you put it that way.

Makes it sound so therapeutic.

Colonel_Flag has his priorities set properly, it is good to see. He will enjoy a very long career as a Rugby Fan, as a result.

Colonel, my compliments! A welcome All Black fan!

The USA has a very respectable Rugby team: if you Yanks ever decided to focus on Rugby as a sport -- the same way you focus on American Football or Basketball -- you would have a very, very scary team indeed. Your football players are HUGE and FAST. You've all the ingredients necessary...

And Manu Samoa! Perfectly OK to cheer for those dudes, they will eventually play for New Zealand anyway. Way too much talent for their own good. Huge. Fast. The speed, the skills: it's actually unfair that there's such a high concentration of talent on such a small island dotted somewhere in the middle of the South Pacific. Manu Samoa rocks! Majorly.

I also wish Jonah the best. He most certainly doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.

From all I've heard, David Tua is a wonderful guy. He's definitely a class act above Mike Tyson. Not that it requires much for that, but I've liked him for a long time.

In truth, some of my favorite Kiwi rugby players are no playing for the All Blacks. The days of Michael Jones, John Kirwan, Frank Bunce, and Buck Shelford are long gone. However, I do enjoy hearing about them from time to time.

If only I could get my hubby into watching rugby, life would be perfect. Until such time, I shall enjoy it on my own. Hehe!

Open mouth and insert foot only applies to slips.

These traitors believe every word that comes out of their mouths.

The problem is due to Media echo syndrome the fools believed they were mainstream and they are finding out they are fringe hanging off the edge scraping the floor.

We might want to sit on the stove for a while after the snowball fight.

You bet, I have her looking for some now.

Fun day? Funny day. After decorating, I pulled the stairs to the attic down to put the boxes back up. Then, our devil cat, decides to run up the stairs and into the attic! My wife nearly had a heart attack. It took about 15 minutes and a can of food to finally coax him off the insulation and back into my arms.

All is good now!

My Dad used to cut a cedar for Christmas.

Always got one way to big. Had to cut a couple of feet off the bottom.

Smelled so wonderful.
