Being a country town, we knew quite a few there, including three other couples that put on concerts like we do. We were sitting in the midst of the Pastoral Care team as it was a hot day and Barry chose our seats under an air conditioning outlet, I don't know if it made any difference...LOL Anyway it was quite pleasant in their new Activities Room. ..... oh yes I forgot to menion they have had a lot of building cnstruction over the last couple of years, and it is all so new they haven't had the official opening yet.
The staff who were looking after us sang us a few carols after the meal, and I was very interested in the Christmas Auld Lang Syne which I had not heard before. Does anyone else know it?
When mistletoe and tinsel glow
Paint a yuletide valentine
Back home I go to those I know
For a Christmas auld lang syne
And as we gather 'round the tree
Our voices all combine
In sweet accord to thank our Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne
When Sleigh bells ring and choirs sing
And the children's faces shine
With each new toy we share their joy
With a Christmas auld lang syne
We sing his praise this day of days
And pray next year this time
We'll all be near to share the cheer
Of a Christmas auld lang syne.
"Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year"
In sweet accord to thank our Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne.
Only found a couple of youtubes including this one by Marc Anthony. To the tune of Auld Lang Syne, which we do a bit faster.

I have not heard "A Christmas Auld Lang Syne". It was very nice and I happen to love Marc Anthony's voice. I just heard him a few days ago singing the American National Anthem on a video. My what a powerful and moving rendition. It brought tears to my eyes and I'm not even American. Have a good week Jan.
I don't know that song either. But it does sound nice :)
Given the fact that it's freezing here I would love some of your heat, lol.
A volunteer thank you lunch is a wonderful idea.
Hope you are staying cool enough, going to be a hot few days.
Not heard that one. It's lovely.
Do you know the Millennium Prayer version by Cliff Richard?
Your host won't let me publish the link, but you'll find it on You Tube. It's the Lord's Prayer set to Auld Lang Syne.
I can't recall hearing it lately, Tilly.
I'll have to see if I have unticked html in comments!
His Auld Lang Syne tempo is much more like our Australian version, rather than the Christmas Auld Lang Syne I posted!
Hugs and Blessings,
Jan
I'm surprised, Tilly, html is not available!
