Merry Christmas... and joy to the world

Here's one of my favorites: Mahalia Jackson singing "O Holy Night." I first heard the song as a freshman in college; it was on a cassette tape of Christmas music that my mother gave me. She'd wrapped one small, daily present for the month of December up until my last day of finals. Friends would come in each evening to see me unwrap one.

Mom earned a lot of points in my dorm that month. :-)
