Time again for my one regular thread - the AB Carol Concert - and as always my thoughts turn to those no longer with us. Remembering my very good friend, writer, film-maker and all round bon viveur, Chakka35; the inimitable Mikey to whom I was virtually engaged for several years - albeit a bit of a volatile relationship; the quite brilliant Vetuste_Ennemi, whom the comedy genius that was Mrs.O insisted upon renaming Enema; the legend that was AOG wherever he may be, and this year special thoughts go to Danny, a genuinely nice man and a popular mod who was here daily but who disappeared suddenly and is greatly missed.

Others, of course, are remembered but I know some would like to express their own thoughts for their own people so please feel free to add your own commemorations and carols or simply your messages for your fellow ABers at this lovely time of year.

I've posted this before on these annual threads but you've got it again simply because I can't resist it. Don’t you just love children, especially at Christmas? I do.



Merry Christmas everyone. My very best wishes to all.

Thank you Naomi, this is always a nice thread :-)

My first post is for Lynne, I know she loved the video - especially the children :-)

Remembering Jackdaw, and Baths and all our absent friends.



This is my choice, the same every year (sorry), but I think it's beautiful.

My thoughts are with the families & friends of all those gone before us, AB'ers not posting at the moment & I send my very best wishes to everyone for a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Be safe & well, all :-)

For ummmm and Eccles miss you to ladies so much, hope you have met up with mamya and are putting the world to rights xx
Thinking of Mrs O, psybbo, Baths, Moyra, Owdhamer and many others who have gone on. Also JD, AOG and others about whose fate we are not aware.

Merry Christmas to all.
I have loved learning this one:

Merry Christmas everyone. Stay warm.
And one for anyone from Ukraine. The sheer beauty of this song moves me to tears!


Remembering all the above...and stewy who recently went by the name of sanmac. He also seems to have left us permanently after a fall. Much missed

Lovely vid naomi, thank you.

And yes, many lost Abers sadly missed. May they all Rest in Peace.
For ummmm.
Not always popular on AB because of her straight talking. She didn't suffer fools gladly and was very astute. Basically off AB She was a very shy lady and very kind, working hard for her charity proving meals in her home for those on the streets. She never really talked about this on AB. We were facebook friends and she helped me a lot. We never actually met, but we were planning to and she was going to introduce me to her Mum who lives near me. But she died before that happened. She was a one off ABer who is missed.

So because of her Irish heritage - Farytale of New York, The Pogues and Kirsty McCall If a video could be posted I would be grateful.

For ummmm from lottie.



some soulful but stunning piano music - a piano version of Mahler's 5th, the Adagietto

the list and add in nungate, mazie and boatie - then nothing heard of Baldric, BOO, Crafty, or AYG. Eccles too but she passed away.

Finally for Christmas, the previous piece - often played as a prelude to the King's College service, something I'd like playing when I pop my clogs, but inspiring!
Thank you Naomi

DTC, Craft has died.
MissT that is freaky. I chose exactly the same song for her (see first message)
Red. I didn't see your tribute to ummmm. But we thought alike!!
Boo is still alive and kicking, still first with the Christmas decorations
