Great tidings of comfort and joy!

[elisi]

Merry Christmas one and all! In celebration I bring you one of the most delightful and gorgeous videos I have ever come across. Darcy and I saw it the other night on a Christmas TOTP2 programme, and have now ended up buying the album (A Christmas Cornucopia). For those of you of different faiths - or none at all - just sit back and admire the pretty (and develop a crush on Annie Lennox...). ♥

"The Doctor reunites with an old friend... - Doctor Who" (Watch on YouTube)

(And in case the embedding decides to vanish again: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Annie Lennox.)

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

I was wearing reindeer antlers earlier this week, and could only think of Wilf and how much better it would be if I, in fact, had two sets on instead : )

It has just occurred to me that we are getting NEW DOCTOR WHO tomorrow! That's AMAZING. Does everyone else know about this?!?!?!?

Re: Merry, merry!

Wilf is cool.

And I am now sat listening to Doctor Who soundtracks (yay for Christmas!) and feeling tired, but... sort of zen? Dunno. Maybe I'm just halfsleep.

Oh, Annie Lennox's voice is amazing, isn't it? I do adore this song too. :)

[elisi]

I've been listening to it for days... <3

Hee. I put that vid up last year. Couldn't get enough of that song then, and downloaded the album on the strength of it, too. I should dig it up again...

[elisi]

How did I miss it? (Guess I was rushed... *g*) Anyway, you obviously have good taste (as if I didn't know this already.) And it's definitely worth another listen!

I got an actual record of Annie Lennox's for Christmas in the prehistoriic era.I played it to death.

[elisi]

Awww, I remember the prehistoric era! <3 And getting the needle just right and Annie Lennox... *is nostalgic*

Merry Christmas! What a gorgeous video. I went ahead and bought the album as well, on the strength of that song. It's beautiful.

[elisi]

It's a lovely album, and quite varied, really. I'm liking it a lot!

And Merry Christmas. ♥
