"Is there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?" --Charlie Brown
Wonderful! Thanks, Celia! :-). XO
This seems the right place to link this performance of Bob Chilcott's The Shepherd's Carol, for my money the most beautiful modern carol :

It's even got a Linus vibe, I'd say.

The Shepherd's Carol
We stood on the hills, Lady,
Our day’s work done,
Watching the frosted meadows
That winter had won.
The evening was calm, Lady,
The air so still,
Silence more lovely than music
Folded the hill.
There was a star, Lady,
Shone in the night,
Larger than Venus it was
And bright, so bright.
Oh, a voice from the sky, Lady,
It seemed to us then
Telling of God being born
In the world of men.
And so we have come, Lady,
Our love, our hopes, ourselves,
We give to your son.
This was on my local PBS station the other day. I was quite surprised.
