I've got something like 70-80 hours of Holiday music on my computer. But there's always more great stuff that I haven't heard yet! These "folk" carols like The Cherry Tree Carol, for example.

Roches harmonies are a class of their own, indeed

diciassette, Nica is indeed one of the most beautiful kitties I've ever had in the family. Her eyes are a nice shade of green. They just look weird in the flash. (yellow-eye instead of red-eye?) Hi KP, and thanks to all for tuning in. Hope your holidays, whatever they may be, are nicely celebrated.
