Video: Felice Navidad by The Christmas Singers
Our MorristownGreen.com Holiday Music Spectacular continues with carols from distant shores…sung in our backyard.
From South of the Border: Felice Navidad, by the revamped Christmas Singers at the Morristown United Methodist Church.
From Hawaii: Mele Kalikimaka, also performed by the Christmas Singers.

Their annual holiday show always is dedicated to a special pair of congregation members, Jackie Wiley and historian John Cunningham, who have passed on.
This year, Christmas Singers Patricia Ruggles, Wayne Walters and Darren O’Neill also welcomed newcomers Alethea and Jordan Wilhelm, who share the spot vacated by the retirement of church Music Director June Van Thoen. Yes, June’s musical void is such that it takes two people to fill. A tough act to follow.
We wish the Wilhelms a long and joyous run. And the same goes for June’s talented successor as musical director, Sarah Michal. Merry Christmas, June, and God Bless Us, Everyone!
Last but not least, from France: Noël Nouvelet, from the Boonton choir Clarum Sonum, which blew away listeners at The Minstrel’s holiday show in Morris Township last week. You will be hearing more from this ensemble. We promise.

Thank you, Kevin. Yes, indeed, God bless us, everyone!
