Beautiful voices. I kept waiting for the picture to change. Then again, that is pretty much what it looks like around here at this time.
I know! I thought it would have been neat if they had included various pictures. I spent a good part of this morning searching through "In the Bleak Midwinter" videos for one that had the right combination of nice picture(s) and good music.
