The best one hour, thirteen minutes, and fifty-three seconds you could spend this Christmas season

...musically, at least, would be to watch and listen to:

This youtube video of "Carols From King's" from 2006.

"King's" refers to Kings College, Cambridge, in England, where every Christmas Eve a similar event is broadcast live around the world by the BBC. It is carried in the U.S. on National Public Radio. In my time zone it occurs from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on December 24th, but in the U.K. it is mid-afternoon.

This is definitely not the Trans-Siberian Orchestra or Lady Gaga or the Beatles.

What it is is beautiful.

You might find yourself listening to it more than once.
