Bonding time: the Nativity in Townsville. Jan Hynes, 2007.
My son got an Advent calendar from his grandparents that has Santa captaining Noah’s ark. Is this better or worse than the ones that just dispense chocolate? I am unsure.
One thing to be sure of is that in 1962, Kim Fowley secured the copyright to an arrangement of the march from Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker. The result is evergreen and to be trusted in, unlike Advent calendars.
Enjoy the music! (And click here to listen to about 2/3 of it on Spotify)
