Christmas music

I love the piano guys. Here's another from them that is great:

And this is the story of a Civil War christmas song, written 150 years ago: I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day:

We just discovered this version of Hallelujah. I hope I can get my daughter to sing it on Christmas Eve for us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pQVRyPGTEc

and one of my all time favorites by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Walter Chronkite: The true story of the Christmas during World War 1

Silent Night is a real favorite of our family - my husband served an LDS mission in Germany and ever since the first Christmas of our marriage (31 years ago!) we have had real candles on our Christmas tree and we light them on Christmas Eve and then we sing Silent Night. He sings in German. The other night my teenage daughter played guitar and sang it in Hawaiian. Maybe next year (when our missionary gets home) we'll do all the various languages our family members know: German, English, Tongan, Spanish, Hiligaynon (Philippines), and Hawaiian. Should be fun!
