Many thanks for your Christmas good wishes Velecnik.

Here is the other side of Gigli's wonderful record......

And another carol from one of the old countries......

Happy Christmas to all from the other side of the pond.

Yes, the other side is very good too. I was fortunate enough to find that record in the "1 Euro" pile in perfect condition at Rüdesheim a few years back. Your recordings are very well done btw! Thanks very much!

Bruce, I played your video this morning for the first time, and my wife saw it too. I didn't tell her, but your kids were behaving so much like our two did (they're now 29 and 33) that I got a little misty. When everyone is here later this week, I think I'll show them too...

Thanks for evoking some sweet memories! And enjoy making yours!

Bruce, thanks for posting as per my request. We always enjoy watching this to bring in the holidays. I just wish we had done something similar when the opportunity was at hand.

Merry Christmas

Thanks guys.

When I first started doing these it seemed a bit corny but am really glad I did. We've actually developed a small following of friends & family who look forward to the next one. I'm not sure how long we'll continue. At age 10, my daughter is getting too "cool" for this sort of thing and it's harder to get them both to participate. We'll see on Christmas Eve.

Although they all have their charm, this one from 2011 probably turned out the best. The song you hear in the background at the beginning is the most famous of Czech Christmas hymns, "Narodil se Kristus Pán" It means "Christ is born". And yes, EMGER, it's Gigli again.

Bruce, one day they are both going to thank you and with luck your Grandkids certainly will..... .

This was the only "Phono" related photo we did when our Son was little. By the way....two seconds later he fell into the horn... .

Superb---very uplifting, well done. Your children/grandchildren will indeed thank you for these posts---as I do---they will become more valuable to your families with every year that passes. The innocence and wonder of childhood is one of our greatest blessings.
