A Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Healthy New Year
to all my readers.
Well Folks, It is that time of year when many will be looking forward to a well earned seasonal break and hopefully in the company of ones family.
It is also a time of year when many also like to hear Christmas carols which often help set the tone to the Christmas period. One particular carol that I like is based on a poem originally written in 1872 by the poetess Christina Rossetti and later set to music in 1906 by the composer Gustav Holst.
The carol is know as “In the Bleak Mid-Winter” and I think is one of the most beautiful carols I have heard. So beautiful it is well worth sharing with all those that would like to hear it. The video below is of the carol being sung by the renowned King’s College Choir of Cambridge.
