Merry Christmas

[grok]

Perhaps allowed, perhaps not, ... Though if I was to go to each person's thread that helped me in some way, well, I'd be here all day!

Merry Christmas to all

And in keeping up with my trend ... A Christmas Carol ...

Though maybe not in the form you are used to. I find the Hip-Hop a reminder that the characters in the story were middle class and blue collar types. How do you think they would have related their story in the colloquial terms of the day?

Go Tell It on the Mountain - Caleb Gordon & Valerin Gordon

[Traditional melody and harmony]
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born, born

[Hip-Hop]
Ayy, 2000
We start the story with Mary and Joseph
The shepherds was minding they business
The angels appeared and this what they told 'em
They said "Don’t be afraid 'cause I'm bringin’ the news
Christ, He born in a manger"
And then suddenly all of the angels pulled up
And God, they started to praise Him
Singin' "Glory to God in the Highest"
Thеn the shepherds pullеd off, [slidin'?]
You can say "It was perfect timing,"
You see the Light of the World shinin'
They went to tell everybody around, that night was not silent
Everyone listened and they was amazed
They knew they was not lyin'
What did they tell you?
