Piqsiq has a new Christmas carol rendition, and it's beautiful as always. Throatsinging and choral all at the same time. https://piqsiq.bandcamp.com/track/angels-we-have-heard-on-high #Inuit #Throatsinging #ChristmasCarol #Piqsiq #bandcamp #IndigenousCreatives #music #IndigenousMusic

"He was a massive player in a revival that was already under way, but he was not the sole instigator of it."

Still, we collect our favorite renditions. Current top choice is the George C. Scott version.

What might yours be?

A few more scenes from this weekend’s visit to the Charles Dickens Museum. Rather a lovely thing to do in the approach to Christmas. Pictures include his actual desk and his portable table for public readings.

Apparently #CharlesAddams was not the only one with this idea!

Made it over to the Charles Dickens Museum in London finally yesterday to check out the To Be Read at Dusk exhibition on his supernatural stories. Snapped some highlights below, including a Japanese edition of a Christmas Carol and a demonstration of stage illusions using Playmobil.

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
’Cause global warming’s here
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Be sure that you wear short sleeves
In this December heat
Oh, how the sun does glow
Beating down on me
Look, there’s a wildfire
Burning down the trees
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Wear a smile, not a frown
Oh, by golly, grab a tree before the forest burns down
