A joyous Hanukkah and a Merry Christmas to those who observe.

To those of you who don’t, have a very good week!

I’m posting a handful of videos. Four are musical and one is of fluffy arctic foxes.

The column will be on hiatus next week (January 1) but I will be back on January 8.

Happy New Year!

First up: Alison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma play The Wexford Carol.

Julie Geller performs a contemporary version of the classic Hanukkah hymn Al Hanisim.

From 2010, a flash mob performs the Halleluiah Chorus.

Itzhak Perlman plays Raisins and Almonds. This is slightly longer than five minutes.
