  1. Cozy up with Manuel Maag Music's beautiful take on "Silent Night" — a calm, heartfelt rendition perfect for quiet evenings and holiday vibes. Let this peaceful cover wrap you in warmth and nostalgia. #Music #Christmas #Carols #Holiday #Instrumental #Peaceful #English

  2. Got to join my family for an intimate performance from the local Ukrainian choir. Such a beautiful and heart-warming celebration of culture.

  4. I have strong opinions on Christmas songs. There are a lot of them that I find absolutely repugnant and annoying. Among them are:

    "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney and Wings - in my book, the most horrible use of a synthesizer in the history of sound. It somehow manages to capture the worst aspects of the winter season, and NONE of the good ones. Basically ice and hypothermia in musical form.

    "Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey" by some asshole whose name I'm not going to look up. It's just a Mafia song, for God's sake! "Dominic the Made Donkey" would probably be a more accurate title. And it's incredibly annoying with its cutesy Italian schtick.

    "Santa Baby" by far too many people. What could be more heartwarming and appropriate to the season of giving than a whore demanding rewards for what can only be assumed are sexual favors for Santa Claus? How many children have heard this one and wondered what the hell it was about?

    There are more horrible Christmas songs, and I'd like to call out "The Polar Express" for being the most blatantly cynical, calculated grab at Christmas classic status in a book or movie while I'm at it. My son literally screamed with horror within the first 10 minutes of the movie when he was a toddler. I hadn't wanted to bring him to see the damned thing in the first place, but his mother and grandmother insisted. So I ended up having to pick him up and run out to the lobby and try to comfort him while they finished watching the movie.

    But anyway, those three Christmas songs are the ones that stand out in my head as just the worst.

    Do you have any Christmas songs that particularly get on your nerves?

  9. I stopped watching #Carolsinthedomain about 10 years ago.
    Maybe it'll improve next year when it'll all be #AI composed and performed 🤔

  13. here’s your yearly reminder that jingle bells is not a Christmas carol, it’s slopped together from several other “sleighing songs”, a short lived genre enthusiastically promoting the fun of sleigh travel

    For this reason, Jingle Bells is actually semantically much closer to Rob Zombie’s Dragula, a song about how much fun it is to go ride in the back of a vehicle, than Silent Night

  15. Last video of the year is out! This one is topical so I had a hard deadline to get it published.

    Thank you so much to everyone for your support over the past 12 months. Having an audience of interested people gives me the ongoing motivation to keep making videos.

    I have some new plans for next year and try some new things, including covering more topics outside Melbourne and some more collaborative projects. As always if you have any ideas or opportunities, please let me know.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2026!

  17. Another great history video by @philip, this time on the history of Australia's Carols by Candlelight tradition.

    That's both the big televised version from Melbourne, as well as the countless carols events in parks across the cities, towns, and suburbs of Australia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys0FwqCPJ18

  19. “In the bleak mid-winter / Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter / Long ago.
    ~ Christina Rossetti
