Happy early Christmas from the States

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

Then you'll like this one too:

"On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia
brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating
organizations to perform one of the Knight Foundation's "Random Acts
of Culture" at Macy's in Center City Philadelphia. Accompanied by the
Wanamaker Organ - the world's largest pipe organ - the OCP Chorus and
throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as
shoppers, and burst into a pop-up rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus
from Handel's "Messiah" at 12 noon, to the delight of surprised
shoppers."

And, a little different, this one, which was apparently filmed two days after I flew out of Heathrow last month. If only I'd been a couple of days later....

For all you iPad fanatics, here's a band doing Christmas numbers using nothing but iPads and iPhones....

And after extensive research it has now been decided that this is exactly what Handel would have intended. Or perhaps not.

That has given me some ideas for congregation participation. Does it count as full and active?
