A wonderful group of young violinists, called En Gedi, did special music at the Christmas Eve service at my mom's church in San Diego. The highlight of the service was their stirring rendition of "The Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah."    The piece itself is awesome, of course, but theirs was one of the most goose-bump-delivering performances i've ever heard.   Just awesome!

Then we came home and listened to John Denver and the Muppets, among other artists, doing Christmas music while we played games with friends and family. : D
