What's your holiday gift to the collective?

Asked by gailcalled (54647points) December 22nd, 2012

Here’s a Spanish flashmob playing Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” in a way that will fill you, I hope, with optimism. Schiller wrote, “Alle Menschen werden Brüder.” All men will be brothers. What a good goal.

No, but seriously. This video of a cat gurgling when it’s petted is pretty fantastic.

Peace to your heart. Peace on earth may not be possible right now, but it begins with each of us, so I wish it for every one of us individually.

I am tearfully smiling @gailcalled. Thank you.

My gift for my fellow Flutherers is to wish you all peaceful and warm holidays.

Beautiful video, @gailcalled! I’m giving all of you jellyfish ornaments. I seriously wish I’d known these existed before now.

@augustlan Better to bring the jelly to Christmas than Christmas to the jelly!

@glacial I feel dumb, but I didn’t get it.

My gift comes in the form of interpretive dance…shame none of you can see it though, or is it?

@harple: Is that really you? You look exactly like I had not imagined. And are you playing on a cardboard harp? Cool

glacial's avatar

Here is my gift – a meditation on the Christmas carol. The story behind Do You Hear What I Hear? (told here by the writers’ daughter) made me weep. The whole thing is an hour long, but great stuff.

harple's avatar

@gailcalled yes, I’ve been brave and that is really me! (I look better without the santa hat.) It is indeed a cardboard harp – I have a set of 10 which I use for workshops and beginner group lessons, so it’s nice at Christmas to show that it can be used for more than Twinkle Twinkle.

cookieman's avatar

Bravo @harple!! Very cool.

Kardamom's avatar

@harple That was wonderful! Now I’m smiling ear to ear : )

augustlan's avatar

@harple So fun! Thanks for sharing it with us.
@glacial Yours sounds very interesting, but I can’t get it to play. :(

glacial's avatar

@augustlan Hmm! I wonder if it is a regional issue.
Here is a link to podcasts from the show; you should be able to download it as an mp3 file. This week’s episode was called (unsurprisingly) “Do You Hear What We Hear?”

Adagio's avatar

@harple how wonderful!
