Hey Andy,
Your posting on 'trees' comes timely to help me keep my word to think about a Christmas write. I think of:
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
Of all the trees so lovely (2x)
Each year you bring to me delight
Meaning in the Christmas night
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
Of all the trees so lovely.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree,
With faithful leaves unchanging (2x)
Your boughs are green in summer's glow
And do not fade in winter's snow
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
With faithful leaves unchanging.
O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree) is a German Christmas song. Based on a traditional folk song, it became associated with the Christmas tree by the early 20th century and sung as a Christmas carol.
Boney M's version sets the mood for the season. This group sings my favourite carols: Joy To The World; The First Noel; The Little Drummer Boy, with such soul that they truly lift up one's spirit.

Reason For This Season
For a believer, the reason for this season is the Lord Jesus Christ. As a child in a mission school, I learnt to sing, Jesus loves me, this I know for the Bible tells me so; What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear.... The lyrics didn't leave much impression on me then... just enjoyed the tuneful melody.
It is only these last 27 years that I look back and realise it is truly an Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a child like me...And to think that this was written by an ex-slave trader.
Well, Andy, Christmas is round the corner, Feliz Navidad (Boney M)
Here's to a blessed 2015 to you and your family. Keep the blog going.
Thanks to Jimmy Chng.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Brother Andy. I was fortunate to have watched iconic diva Liz Mitchell and Boney M twice in Singapore. Been a huge fan for more than four decades and their songs makes me reminisce about my youth and much happier times.
Listening to this album send me back to nicer times when I was at their Christmas Special Show down in Orchard Road, and I got the privilege to chat with Liz and hubby before the show commences. I thank her for the years of fantastic music and oh, what a great concert Liz and Boney M gave.
Apart from lots of Christmas songs, we also got to hear a medley of hits comprising of Rivers Of Babylon, Rasputin, Daddy Cool and Sunny. An evening of nostalgia.. Liz Mitchell shines in bringing back the good old times.
👍❤️🥰…
