Carol of the Bells

We went exercise walking in our local mall not long after it opened and before the crowds arrived.

 

I really needed to see some brightness today - it's another gloomy day in New York State.

Inside this area, children get to meet Santa and have their picture taken with him.
Tomorrow is my Music Moves Me holiday music contribution, but for today, I wanted to feature the recent Carol of the Bells performance by the Children's Choir of Ukraine.

I never knew until this that Carol of the Bells (Shchedryk) was Ukrainian.  This was one of my favorite Christmas Carols when I was a teenager.  Keep in mind that this choir, performing in New York City's Carnegie Hall, had to practice in a bomb shelter this year.

What a beautiful carol, with extra meaning this holiday season.  

Join me again tomorrow for more holiday music.

    I did not know it was Ukrainian. I wonder what my mall display looks like? It's so close to me, yet I don't go. I take my Amazon returns to Kohl's, but haven't walked the mall in years. I suppose they have a Santaland!
