Ab Carol Concert 2022

[naomi24]

Time again for my one regular thread - the AB Carol Concert - and as always my thoughts turn to those no longer with us. Remembering my very good friend, writer, film-maker and all round bon viveur, Chakka35; the inimitable Mikey to whom I was virtually engaged for several years - albeit a bit of a volatile relationship; the quite brilliant Vetuste_Ennemi, whom the comedy genius that was Mrs.O insisted upon renaming Enema; the legend that was AOG wherever he may be, and this year special thoughts go to Danny, a genuinely nice man and a popular mod who was here daily but who disappeared suddenly and is greatly missed.

Others, of course, are remembered but I know some would like to express their own thoughts for their own people so please feel free to add your own commemorations and carols or simply your messages for your fellow ABers at this lovely time of year.

I've posted this before on these annual threads but you've got it again simply because I can't resist it. Don’t you just love children, especially at Christmas? I do.



Merry Christmas everyone. My very best wishes to all.

Electrochem beat me to it. I was going to put up a youtube of that by a Ukrainian children's choir in Sweden.
It's called "Shchedryk" which means "bountiful".
The English version is known as "The Little Swallow". It's a traditional children's story often told at Christmas.

I usually find I have something in my eye whenever I hear it.
Even though I have no children, I do admit to being a right softie.
Actually.... somewhere on a spectrum between sensitive soul.......
........... and Sap of the Month.
But I don't care ;o)

Merry Christmas all.

I saw your post, RH, but the second one is lottie’s personal tribute.

I was just pointing out to MissT that we think alike

A lovely, thoughtful thread, Naomi.
This is my personal favourite. Remembering all the lovely people who are no longer here x

I thought that was a hoax Naomi.. regarding Craft. She'd responded to it.
Unless I've missed another...

Yes, it's a time when I remember those who are no longer around, both here in AB and in my life.
Here's a favourite carol.

I have fond memories of a lot of them mentioned but not forgetting our dear departed CupidXx

[pastafreak]

Oh crikey Naomi...I saw that thread but never read it as I didn't have any coincidences to relate.
Gosh I'm sorry to hear that. Craft was a hoot.

[naomi24]

I was shocked too, pasta.

[pastafreak]

She's watching us...still listed as active. ;)

For Patsy.

[Patsy33]

Thank Togo x

[tiggerblue10]

Craft was very funny. Miss her :o(

Christmas "decs." are now up and a glass of sherry in hand. Merry Christmas.

[Barsel]

Patsy has beat me to it, Josh Groban would have been my choice too.
My very best wishes to all Abers and my thoughts to the Abers who are no longer with us.
My second choice.
