It's Monday, it's the first day of December, and it's time for music!
Who are the Music Moves Me Bloggers?
We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.) We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your choice. Why not join us? You don't have to sing, or play an instrument. All music lovers are welcome.
This month's theme is "Whatever Christmas music moves you" which I, personally change to "Whatever holiday music moves you" as I do one or more Hanukkah music posts during December. But Hanukkah doesn't start until sundown on Sunday, December 14. And the really cool part of that is that those of the Jewish faith celebrated two Hanukkahs in 2025. Hanukkah 2024 ended on January 2 and then, December 14, we get another eight days to celebrate.
In honor of that, I am starting this holiday month long celebration with the Maccabeats and their 2025 Hanukkah release-KanuKpop Demon Hunters. I'm not big into KPop but I thought this was quite enjoyable.
From here, I let You Tube lead the way. This is what I came up with.
Hopefully, you all have a good sense of humor. This video is a bit long for the skit, I think, but there are some nice, funny moments in it. Here is Carol of the Bells done Shepherd Boomwacker style by a church group. I had never known these tubes were called boomwackers.
Straight No Chaser and 12 Days of Christmas. Sort of.
Finally, have you seen a good Random Act of Culture or flash mob recently? Here are two. This first one is from 2010 but it hasn't aged at all. Here is the Opera Company of Philadelphia with the Hallelujah Chorus.
Let's wrap up with this from 2013, the USAF Band Holiday flash mob at the National Air and Space Museum, performing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring/Joy to the World.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
