I've googled every combo of the following description, and I can't find the video.

One year around this time of year, found a video and I really liked it, and the song the girls sing.

OK. Here's the description. I hope one of you will recognize what I'm talking about.

There's a group of girls, some older females also, who set around in a circle and sing that song, and they clap. Clap in their laps, across to each other's hands, clap their chests. It's a neat little song and I only heard it on this video. I'll continue to see if it shows up, but if this rings a bell with anyone............let me know please!!!!

Sorry, nope, actually the words don't make a lot of sense. There's the word red in it, that I recall in the song, like they cut of their little red heads.....it really makes no sense, just seems like that was in it.

@qualitygal .... The group Pentatonix does a video of a song much like the one you describe titled " White Winter Hymnal ". Just google it, it's wonderful! Hope it's what you're looking for.

Correction!!! That is the song, done by Pentatonix. It just hit me, so I looked at it. That's the song!!! Thank you!! Now I just need to find that group. But that's it. I have to write it down to remember it! Gad zooks!!

Add: Found the group: DRJunior Koret.

Glad I was able to find it. Knew one our smart people on here would do it!! What a relief, that would have nagged the tar out of me.

@qualitygal If you go to YouTube and in the search bar type White Winter Hymnal a number of versions will come up in a listing.

There is one with a group of young women (yes, maybe 30 of them!) with a German or Swiss sounding name (Der Somethingorother....) and I bet that's the one you are looking for. Good Luck!

@qualitygal ... The song l was thinking of went like this...

"My mother told me ..."

(while they are clapping along with the song)

"La la la la la.." (These aren't the words but the correct words go along with the rhythm above.)

"La la la la la..."

Well... I'm hearing the song in my head but the rest of the words I can't think of.

Please let us know the name of the song. I'd like to hear it !
The song l was thinking of was probably more for children!
