Hi Betty - lovely idea to have the leadup to Christmas on your blog. I especially like the Australian carols. I found someone else with a similar idea to you - see https://tww.id.au/christmas I found there one of my favourites: the 'Carol of the birds' by James and Wheeler ('Out on the plains the brolgas are dancing', etc.). Reminds me of travels up north. Karen
