In the Christmas Grotto with an Imperfect Carol

In my last blog, I wrote about the making of a Christmas Grotto. 

Deborah Henson-Conant and I spent Christmas Eve playing carols in said Grotto, and this video was the result. Why, it’s a calypso version of Joy to the World, of course!




Although this was one of our less polished attempts, it was our favourite version, because it goes some way towards encapsulating the fun we had, playing the night away. And isn’t that what Christmas is all about? Just having fun?

*Gets struck by a lightning-bolt from a God/Zeus/Santa Hybrid*

Oh. I stand corrected.

Nonetheless, we did have fun, and, if that wasn’t enough, there are also certain angles in the video where Deborah’s Santa hat looks exactly like a Mozart-Style wig. Once we realised this, it couldn’t be unseen, and it brings me more mirth (as opposed to myrrh) than I know what to do with.

Merry Christmas One and All!

*Gets struck by a calendar, hurled down from the heavens, by the Spirit of New Year (embodied here as the guy who runs my gym)*

Bah.
