A December tradition in our family is the Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton Consort\u00a0Celtic Christmas concert at Dumbarton Church<\/a>\u00a0in Georgetown, where our Christmas season is annually launched by beautiful music for lute, harp, flute and drum, accompanied by\u00a0Robert Aubry Davis<\/a>\u2019 readings.

When Christmastide
\nComes in like a Bride,
\nwith Holly and Ivy clad:
\nTwelve dayes in the yeare,
\nMuch mirth and good cheare,
\nin every houshold is had:
\nThe Countrey guise,
\nIs then to devise,
\nsome gambole of Christmas play:
\nWhereas the yong men,
\nDo best that they can,
\nto drive the cold winter away.<\/p>\n

When white-bearded Frost,
\nHath threatned his worst,
\nand fallen from Branch & Bryer:
\nThen time away cals,
\nFrom Husbandry Hals,
\n& from the good Countrymans fire:
\nTogether to go,
\nTo Plow and to sow,
\nto get us both food and array:
\nAnd thus with content,
\nThe time we have spent,
\nto drive the cold winter away.<\/p>\n
