Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

Was singing The First Noel during one of our carolling sessions:
"The First Noël" (sometimes "The First Nowell") is a traditional English Christmas carol, most likely from the 16th or 17th century, but possibly dating from as early as the 13th century. The word Nowell comes from the French word Noël for "Christmas", from the Latin word natalis ("birth").

Also sang others, like A Festive Madrigal (simplier version, and not the proper madrigal), Carol of the Bells (hence the Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!, Silver Bells, Whtie Christmas, as well as more traditional four-parters for Angels We Have Heard on High, O Come All Ye Faithfull, We Three Kings, Silent Night, Joy to the World, Away in a Manger, and many others.

The session at GE Mall yesterday was quite ok. There were absolutely brilliant moments, but of course, there were some not so great parts when some within the group didn't get their act together.

Also saw Narnia in the morning. Quite good actually, liked it better than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but thought that the beginning was a bit slow. The pace subsequently moves though, so it was better after that. The witch was particularly brilliant! She's the same actress who played one of the "angels" in Constantine. Definitely has a chilly demeanour, but the role suited her to perfection.
