"Dave's Old Fashioned Christmas Page"

Friday, December 02, 2005

I hope you'll take a peak at my Christmas page. It features six original poems:

The Megabyte Before Christmas (1996)

The Greatest Christmas Gift (1997)

Little Did They Know (1999)

'Twas the Month After Election (2000)

Love's Pure Light, Burning Bright (2001)

Through the Eyes of a Child (2003)

Also, I have written three articles on Christmas topics (the first two are new this year):

Christmas Carols and Songs: An Alphabetical, Chronological, and Geographical Catalogue

135 well-known songs chronicled, with composer, lyricist, date, country, alternate titles, background information, audio sample file for each song, lyrics (almost all songs, and some non-English lyrics), links to samples from famous or notable recordings, misc. trivia (many songs), and six photographs of composers and singers.

Michigan Master of Contemporary Christmas Carols: Alfred S. Burt (composer of Caroling, Caroling, Some Children See Him, Star Carol, and 12 more)

Silent Night (a "progressive" theological and agnostic re-interpretation and critical commentary) (2004)

Other features of the page include: Old-Fashioned and Traditional Christmas Links, Chesterton and Dickens observations on Christmas, a great painting, and Thomas Nast's historic depiction of Santa Claus. Enjoy!
