yap, time moves fast . this is maybe the fastest year passing in front of my eyes ..

i wonder is there any classical stuff specifically composed for christmas or new year, I mean not a traditional one like O,Holy Night etc.

Several composers wrote Christmas Oratario. (Bach, Medelssohn, Saint-Saens, Britten and possibly others)...

I have a 78rpm with (very nice!) Choir works by John Stainer and Frederick Bridge:

thanks for the christmas recomendation. at the time enjoying the trans-siberian orchestra songs. not classical but close too...

Universal Classics and Jazz are about to release an album called Ascent, which isn't a Christmas record, but it is a very chilled and relaxing record designed to be a new year detox from a hectic and over indulgent Christmas period.
