Condor and Christmas
'Tis the season to be watching, and listening. If, like me, you like watching movies during Christmastime that are seasonal but not too soppy or sugaree, I have a suggestion for you. I pretty much go for the same thing I would go all year long, but with a Christmas twist. And there is one film that could be considered a Christmas movie, because it is set during Christmastime. I am talking about Three Days of the Condor. For those who never watched it, stop reading now and do not watch the video in this post. Anyway, while the original novel, which differs significantly from its more famous adaptation, is set in a different time of year, Yuletide is definitely in the background of the film. And moreso in its last scene, which I am sharing today. It gives a definitely darker yet very realistic edge to the Season.

La Légende de Saint Nicolas
Nous sommes la Saint-Nicolas , donc je partage l'une des légendes associées au saint, celle qui est si délicieusement sinistre. D'habitude, je partage la verison chantée, cette fois-ci, c'est une pièce de théâtre avec des marionnettes trouvée sur YouTube. Et, comme je viens de me rendre compte qu'on ne peut pas la partager directement sur les autres sites, vous trouverez le lien ici. Dites-moi ce que vous en pensez.

Mozart: Requiem Aeternam
Here is a sad anniversary that I have to commemorate. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died on that date. As it is a tradition around the world, his Requiem is played. We commemorate his death, we are still in grief, even centuries after his departure, but we celebrate his work. Mozart is eternal.
