This theme started out slightly differently but it evolved. Then after I had got everything ready I found I had used basically the same theme and the same intro song this time last year, though new recording and video. It is now too late to change so here goes.
The winter soltice has traditionally been a time of celebration. In pre Christian times it celebrated the return of the sun after and the end of the darkening days. In old Norse it was called "Yule", a term we still use today in English. It is still called "Yule" in Scandavia. The Christians later adopted the Winter feast as the time to Celebrate the birth of Christ, so whatever your beliefs, this time of year is traditionally one of celebration. The challenge this week is to record a song to celebrate the season. It can be religious or secular. It can be an original or a cover. The choice is yours.
The usual rules and guidelines apply
* The recording must be new and made for this week
* Ukulele must be prominent feature though other instruments may also feature.
* State somewhere your video is for Season 357
* Start and finsh times as usual, 8 days starting midnight Hawaii on Sunday morning and ending Midnight Hawaii the following Saturday night
* Most importantly, this is about fun so enjoy yourselves.
Stick to one song a day and I should be able to keep up. Things have been a bit hectic chez Walker recently. I'll relax the limit if I find I'm keeping up OK
If you're not sure if a song fits, it probably does so do it and enter it anyway. No need to check with me. I'm not going to reject any of your entries. They are all good.

I will comment on individual songs on You Tube and add periodic summaries in the thread.
