We’ve probably posted about this before, but the holidays are upon us again, so what the heck.

The monks of St. Francis de la Sissies, who are all under a vow of silence, nonetheless perform the Hallelujah Chorus, [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HkXmOIwpkQ).

There’s a long, only mildly amusing preface, but the performance, which starts right around the 1:30 mark, is hilarious! Highly recommended.
