Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Blog Caroling!!!

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

It's Saturday Night again

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings has our assignment for tonight:

Are you in the Christmas spirit yet? I love this time of year - and hearing and singing Christmas carols and songs is my favorite holiday pastime.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:


1) Identify your absolute favorite Christmas Carol or Holiday song.

2) Share your favorite Christmas carol or holiday song in a blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post. Please leave a comment and link here to your post.

3) For extra credit, post an audio or video of the carol or song (almost all are on www.YouTube.com) and the words to the song. Add the background of the song, and the artists if you can find them.

4) Enjoy the memories and feelings that the carol or song brings to your heart and mind, and share them too!


Here's mine:
One of my absolute favorite Christmas carol is "Christmas Canon." It is to the tune of Pachelbel's "Canon in D." 


I have written a blog post previously with my complete list of favorite Christmas songs. These are still my favorites.

Whenever I purchased Christmas records, I always checked out ones that included as many of these as possible. This season I have been enjoying my Christmas records. 

I have also found on YouTube, complete playlists of a large variety of Christmas music, even some with a crackling fire in the background. That's a little too much coming out of my computer speakers, so I have found some without the fire. This one is of relaxing music, which works well when working at the computer.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

    1. Thanks for sharing yours, too. I listened to the whole Peter Paul & Mary concert now and totally enjoyed it.

  2. Very pretty song. The Transiberian Orchestra does some great work. I've heard it recently and I didn't even realize this was one of their songs.

  3. We've seen TSO in concert quite a few times and they always do this. They have a great Christmas show.
