A Christmas Carol by G. K. Chesterton has always been one of my favourite Christmas poems. It is simple enough, but has some lovely imagery, and the lines "and all the flowers looked up and Him, and all the stars looked down." tugs on my heart as few other things do. I was absolutely delighted to discover that it has been put to music by a traditional Catholic composer. You should go to One Peter Five to read the lyrics, and find out a wee bit more about it. (very wee-- humble, the folks in the making of it seem to be. I gather that it is something of a labour of love, and that the singers are Catholic musicians volunteering to make beautiful things in a dark time. But there is not much actually about the making of this that I can find.)
