A happy, holy and blessed Christmas to all my readers. Let this music remind us of what we’re celebrating today, and give us joy. And my wish and prayer for all of us this Christmas?

Aaaaaaawwww!
Your feel-good story of the day (click the image for a larger view): (I presume that’s Rome, New York and its Humane Society.) I call that the spirit of Christmas in operation. Thank you, Jennifer! Peter
Sunday morning music
This unusual rendition of the well-known Carol of the Bells caught my eye (and ear) recently. It’s played, not on bells, but on Boomwhackers. The added comedic byplay is a bonus. I’m still not sure about the Biblical authenticity of Boomwhackers in Bethlehem, but you can’t have it all! Peter

Gigglesnort! – parking edition

Santa’s journey – Royal Tank Regiment edition
It seems that, for their last PT parade before Christmas each year, the Royal Tank Regiment in the UK (the oldest tank unit in the world) stages a fun race for wannabe Santa Clauses in their makeshift sleighs. This Christmas was no exception. Having to eat six mince pies and drink half a gallon of milk… Continue reading Santa’s journey – Royal Tank Regiment edition
