I didn't think, until too late, of having donuts for breakfast.
Which sort of sums up my current approach to celebrating the liturgical year, I'm afraid.
On the other hand, I can always post carols. Here's my favorite arrangement of "In the Bleak Midwinter," by one of my favorite choirs in Cambridge. Kings gets all the glammy exposure, but one of the loveliest Lessons and Carols I ever heard was at Trinity.
Enjoy:

So beautiful. Thank you for posting it.
Thanks. I love that so much. We sang it several Christmas Eves in a row, at midnight, when I sang with a parish choir in Cambridge. The choirmaster's son was our boy soprano, and he always sang the first verse. Hearing it always brings back that freezing cold dark medieval church, with candles on all the windowsills. I think I could live a long, long time before I ever experienced a Christmas Eve as beautiful as those were, though of course they were only a stop on the way someplace else -- as is everything, ultimately . . .
