On Monday my granddaughter’s school choir gave their annual Lucia concert at our nearby church and, as an extra added attraction my talented granddaughter played a piece on the piano with one of her classmates that sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. Then this morning while reading a post on Timothy Snyder’s blog I heard it sung on a video clip that was included in the post which, as is always the case with Timothy Snyder’s blog posts, was a most enlightening history lesson. So as a small contribution to encouraging the Christmas spirit, let me repost it here and offer warm holiday greetings to you all.
