From Jubilee Joy
The Huron Carol
‘Twas in the moon of winter-time
When all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wandering hunter heard the hymn:
“Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.”
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender Babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapp’d His beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high…
“Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.”
O children of the forest free,
O sons of Manitou,
The Holy Child of earth and heaven
Is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.”
Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.”

The “Huron Carol” (or “‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime”) is a Canadian Christmas hymn (Canada’s oldest Christmas song), written in 1643 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat people; the song’s original Huron title is “Jesous Ahatonhia” (”Jesus, he is born”). The song’s melody is a traditional French folk song, “Une Jeune Pucelle” (”A Young Maid”). The well known English lyrics were written in 1926 by Jesse Edgar Middleton.
The English version of the hymn uses imagery familiar in the early 20th century, in place of the traditional Nativity story. This version diverts from Brebeuf’s original song and Huron religious concepts. In the original hymn, Jesus is born in a “lodge of broken bark”, and wrapped in a “robe of rabbit skin”. He is surrounded by hunters instead of shepherds, and the Magi are portrayed as “chiefs from afar” that bring him “fox and beaver pelts” instead of the more familiar gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The hymn also uses a traditional Algonquian name, Gitchi Manitou, for God. The original lyrics are now sometimes modified to use imagery accessible to Christians who are not familiar with native North American cultures.
The song remains a common Christmas hymn in Canadian churches of many Christian denominations. Canadian singer Bruce burn has also recorded a rendition of the song. It is also sung by Canadian Tom Jackson during his annual Huron Carole show.
In the United States, the song was included as “Jesous Ahatonia” on Burl Ives’s 1952 album Christmas Day in the Morning and was later released as a Burl Ives single under the title “Indian Christmas Carol.”

The title pretty much says it all. Merry Christmas YouTube! Special Christmas Song by my sister Carol…and used with permission )

“Don’t Forget To Thank Jesus”

Oh it’s Christmas time, decorate the tree
Don’t forget the mistletoe and Santa’s cookies

Sing those Christmas Carols with family and friends
Enjoy the Holidays and all the presents

But Don’t forget to thank Jesus

Oh, it was Christmas time, and there were three wise men
Who followed a bright light, the star of Bethlehem

They brought such gifts as gold
frankincense and myrrh
to celebrate Jesus our Saviors birth

Oh it’s Christmas time, decorate the tree
And don’t forget the mistletoe and Santa’s cookies

Sing those Christmas Carols with family and friends
Enjoy the Holidays for all they represent

And don’t forget to thank Jesus
But don’t forget to thank Jesus
Don’t forget to thank Jesus

We open on the nativity scene as the 3 wise men place their gifts inside the manger. There’s a pregnant pause. Suddenly, one by one, the gifts are thrown out of the manger. The wise men look on in disbelief. Joseph and Mary look to each other with a blank expression.

The director’s cut of James Nethery’s Biblical adaption of the birth of Christ. It includes a scene that was originally included in the first version but was cut at the last minute because it was too violent to be shown to young children (the movie was going to be shown at a church). The result was a choppy scene transition that looked like something had been “cut out”. The scene has now been completely re-edited and re-entered into the film.
Now, we bring you The Birth of Christ as it was meant to be seen!

The holiday collection features an array of the artist’s wide musical influences, ranging from Celtic to classical to Middle Eastern. Her eclecticism shines through in the mysticism of The Holly and the Ivy, the exotic Eastern arrangements of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, the Latin-sung Emmanuel and the North French/African rendering of Noël Nouvelet!, sung in Old French.

Loreena recorded the new material for A Midwinter Night’s Dream at Peter Gabriel’s Real World recording studio near Bath, England following a highly successful European tour. With McKennitt providing vocals as well as piano, accordion and harp accompaniment; she is supported by Brian Hughes on oud and guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin, Caroline Lavelle on cello, Donald Quan on viola and percussion, Ben Grossman on hurdy gurdy and percussion, Simon Edwards on bass, Rick Lazar on percussion and Stratis Psaradellis on Greek lyra and Greek lute.

I really wanted to recapture some of the frankincense and myrrh in this music, McKennitt explained, and the process was a fresh reminder of the diversity of so many traditions when it comes to music of the winter season. The songs are rich with abundant references to the natural world and connections to our spiritual and religious bearings; it’s clear that people have always used winter as a time of reflection.
