There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Handel's Messiah, specifically the version performed by the Philly Orchestra (and Leonard Bernstein) in 1960 and sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Lots of other stuff from Bach, Beethoven, Handel . . . etc. Also Christmas hymns.

Certainly one of my favorite Christmas specials.  Gotta love Max the dog, but ona serious note I just saw "Mary, Did you know?" on facebook and went to youtube to listen to about 5 different renditions of it.  A really beautiful song.  I like Kathy Mattea's version best.

My church is hosting our diocese's "Lessons and Carols" this year, this Friday night.  There's a quartet of women who are singing "Mary, Did You Know?" and I had the opportunity to hear them practice last Wednesday night.  I was somewhat rushed, so I was headed out into the parking lot, but their practice run was so good, I turned around in the doorway and came back in to hear the rest of the song.  They were awesome.  I'd be singing in "Lessons and Carols," but my second job starts with a vengeance this Wednesday and Friday nights, so I'm going to miss it.
