I’ve always loved the song you bunch of Scrooges.

It’s White Christmas and all those secular songs I don’t like—At least the kid was trying to so something for the baby Jesus—Giving all he had, like the widow in the Temple.

To each his own, I guess.

I like the song too. While it isn’t my favorite, it is beautiful when sung softly and quietly. I had never really thought about the song until recently, when on a long road trip. Hubby and I had on an all-Christmas music station. I actually had a tear in my eye when I thought of the drummer boy, alone and poor, who wanted so badly to give the Christ Child a gift, but only had the gift of music. A sad but touching story. Moonhawk, the widow in the Temple came to mind for me too!

enraged, we have that version on DVD. It is rarely shown on tv. The Vienna Boys Choir sang. There was a second part that wasn’t as good.
