Season's Greetings to everyone! I haven't had time to go online much at all for the last several months, but I'm determined to catch up at least a little bit today. I love looking at the photos people have posted of their Christmas decorations, and if I can find my camera I'll try to put up some pictures of our decorations as well.

In honor of New Year's Eve, I wanted to share with you a beautiful version of "Auld Lang Syne", performed by The O'Reilly Consort and included in their CD "A Celtic Christmas: Carols for Celtic Band." Unfortunately I could only find a small snippet of it online. Click on this link --> http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=4867599
then scroll down to sample 9 and click on that. It's only thirty seconds long, but it's a lovely highlight, with notes and key that are very different from the traditional version of the song. The other songs on the CD are wonderful, too ("Oikan Ayns Bethlehem" is especially memorable; almost haunting in its beauty.)

Happy New Year!
