It is my recollection, and I would invite my five older siblings to tell me if I am mistaken but no invitation has ever been necessary on that score (nor should it be), my father's favorite Christmas Carol was Adeste Fideles. Do not misunderstand. He enjoyed it very much in its English iteration O Come All Ye Faithful but not nearly as much as he did in Latin. For years now it has been an unrealized goal of mine to perform a duet of Adeste Fideles with my great friend Dave Lackland, who was one of Dad's all-time favorite Latin students that we can upload to YouTube for posterity.
Fingers crossed Dave reads this and we book a little Zoom time.
Until then, we will all have to get by with a little Nat King Cole...
You're welcome.
