I SEND OUT MY VERY BEST WISHES ON THIS HOLIDAY. MY MOG FRIENDS MEAN A LOT TO ME.

Posted about 4 years ago
At this time of yearThose we hold dearReside in our hearts.We gather, we feast,We laugh we sing.We think of those not with us.This song has been a part of my children's Christmas Tradition all their lives. No bells jingling, no cheery/cheezey choruses, just a simple retelling of the Nativity Story from the point of view of a poor sheppard on a nearby hillside.Sung with just the right awed vulnerability by Rick Danko, this song has always touched my heart. A simple yet majestic number, The Band nailed it on this performance.Robbie Roberston revived it, in a newer slicker version for the **Scrooged** soundtrack that is nor without it's charm, _if_ you never heard this.Pardon me if anyone else has posted this today, I haven't had much time to read the MOG today, but if they have.....Oh well. c'est la vie!
