What an awesome video! I love the hustle and bustle of shopping, but I refuse to shop where employees are not allowed to say Merry Christmas.

I hope more people take a moment to look at this video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh boy! I have just wept a bucket! I have not heard that for many years! I used to sing it and it reminded of my grandparents, both long dead. My Grandparents were absolutely against God but my Grandmother and I used to go and sing it whenever there was a performance from scratch! My Grandfather was totally and utterly tone deaf - and somewhat deaf! He would sing "Hallelujah, skin a donkey, cut its tail off!" I want to hear it again! And sing it again! Wonder what would happen if that broke out in our local supermarket! Lovely! Where was it and who organised it?

There wre some fantastic expressions - especially the man sitting there watching and listening with a smile on his face! I too would love to join in something like this! I know the Handels Messiah word for word, note for note. Would love to sing it again!

I did do one with an amateur choir and was sitting next to a girl who happened to be the vicar's daughter from the church we were singing in. The soprano was so wobbly and vibrato that I immediately got a vision of a jellyfish in a collander, the vicar's daughter had a jelly in a high wind! We both got the giggles at the same time and we then happened to look at the organist who for a point was silent and he turned round and mouthed "Jelly in a tent!" at us and we could not stop giggling throughout the performance. I bit a hole in my hand trying to stop!

Also I was doing this in the Royal Albert Hall in London under a very famous conductor and when we got to the Hallelujah Chorus, being a true Pentacostal my arms went up! Got some really weird looks from my fellow sopranos!!!

That was beautiful. I would love to see that happen.
