REMINDER, 4 pm Eastern. CAROLLING FOR REINER. Lyrics to 10 Christmas Carols. PLUS PHOTO OF INKA AND REINER TOGETHER.

Yesterday I mentioned that I asked Inka, what was Reiner’s favorite Christmas song, and what was hers. She answered, Silent Night. Then she added: But Reiner doesn’t like Christmas.

I appreciate Inka’s reply, after I posted that:

I think it’s not important if Reiner likes Christmas. The idea for singing together is, like spiritual chanting, a very good way to connect people and that was always what we work for.

Yes it is!

On top of that, as I said yesterday, it’s a way of showing Reiner we care about him, are thinking of him, doing what we can for him. I hope he gets to hear at least a bit of the carolling - a powerful message of WE CARE ABOUT YOU, REINER AND INKA, AND ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN!

So, again, here is the information for the first rehearsal.

The first song will be Silent Night. We’ll sing the first verse in English, German and French.

And here is the link to download the lyrics to the 10 Christmas carols. The full lyrics are included, but we’ll generally sing only the first couple of verses.

And there may be an 11th carol - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas:

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles, will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

My sense, actually, is a bit different from what’s in the song. My sense is that we’re not just muddling through. We’re doing what we can.

And don’t go until you’ve scrolled to the bottom, for a picture of Inka and Reiner together. Our intent: that this is the reality again in the very near future.

All the best to all of us,

Elsa

PS. By the way, here are Reiner and Inka together, as they should be. Again, our intent: that this is the reality again in the very near future.
