Living a lie
Amy Cuddy digs into what our faces and bodies do when we tell a
lie.Let me start with a question: How do you know if a person is lying? If
you’re like most people, your first response will be something like “Liars
don’t make eye contact.” In a survey of 2,520 adults in sixty-three countries,

Today is Christmas Day. I thought of arranging a few of the Carols, which were popular in our younger days ( I am now 75) and which are still popular. I have chosen video clips which all have lyrics with them. This is to make you all join in the singing. Hope you have an enjoyable time, listening to the music and singing along.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas

"Mary's
Boy Child" is a 1956 Christmas
song, written by Jester
Hairston.[1] It is widely performed as a Christmas
carol.
Contents
History[edit]
The
song had its genesis when Hairston was sharing a room with a friend. The friend
asked him to write a song for a birthday party.[2] Hairston wrote the song with a calypso rhythm because the people at the party
would be mainly West
Indians. The song's original title was "He Pone and Chocolate
Tea", pone being a type of corn
bread.[2] It was never recorded in this form.
Some
time later Walter
Schumann, at the time conducting Schumann's Hollywood Choir, asked
Hairston to write a new Christmas song for his choir. Hairston remembered the
calypso rhythm from his old song and wrote new lyrics for it.[2]
Harry Belafonte heard
the song being performed by the choir and sought permission to record it.[2] It was recorded in 1956 for his album An Evening with Belafonte. An
edited version was subsequently released as a single,[3] reaching No. 1 on the UK
Singles Chart in
November 1957.[1] It was the first single to sell over one
million copies in the UK alone.[1] To date, Belafonte's version has sold over
1.19 million copes.[4] In 1962. the full-length version was added
to a re-issue of Belafonte's previously released album To Wish You a Merry Christmas.
