Merry Christmas in advance!

Christmas is 4 days away!

So here's a pre-Christmas message to serve as a reminder...

Have you bought your presents?

How's the decorations?

Erm, what's cooking for Christmas?

and by the way, what about the Christmas songs?

Well, I have a recommendation.

No, I'm not going to advertise the choir concert again. We've sold all our tickets. So, thanks to those who have purchased or ordered tickets. [Isaac Wong, remember to get them from me later in the day!]

My recommendation for a Christmas album: "Follow The Stars" by Agapella.

Agapella is actually a group of local A Cappella Singers who are also Christians! They are from different churches, different works of life, but they've come together to make music and praise the Lord [and complain about the pains of Christmas!]. They were started in 2002, and they've finally released their first album in time for Christmas.

The album has a couple of songs which will sound familiar, such as "I Will Follow Him", from the movie "Sister Act", as well as the classic stuff like "We Are The Reason", "O Come All Ye Faithful", "O Holy Night", as well as some of their own recipe. All the songs are done in a cappella, of course. But nevertheless, it's still a nice album to tune to for this holiday season.

Check out the album at most Christian shops, HMV, Gramophone, and at their gigs. they have gigs at Esplanade on 20 and 21 December at Esplanade Concourse, open to the public, at 3 time slots (6.45pm, 8pm, 9pm)

And, yes, i did check out their gig [2 of them, actually.], bought their album, etc...
