As Navidad is fast approaching we've been busting out a few Christmas carols. Today Choi and I assembled the tree while I taught him choice lines from A Christmas Carol such as "Bah Humbug" and "God Bless us, everyone. We found a few Korean songs on Youtube, but this was easily our favorite result.
I kept asking Choi if everyone in Korea could sing like Angels, and he just giggled and turned red, so me thinks that's a maybe.
Brett came in and put on an Aussie classic
Brendan, from Ireland and living in the hostel with us, says this is the greatest Christmas song ever written, yet says he's heard it so much that he'll happily go the rest of his life without hearing it again. It gets a decent amount of play here and is obviously a staple in Europe, but I shall admit, I've never heard it before. So it's wonderful and new to me:
And Cam and I fall back on our personal favorite snap shot of Christmas in the US of A: Robert Earl Keene's 'Merry Christmas from the Family'
So as we head out in tanktops and jandals (that's Kiwi-speak for sandals), we're sending the love!
Korean version of "All I Want for Christmas" takes the cake. He masters the ranges of Mariah Carey like an angel (or perhaps butterfly?)
