Throughout December, as count-down to Christmas, RÚV has re-broadcast various season-related music acts from earlier decades. This Saturday’s broadcast sported an eleven year old Björk Guðmundsdóttir reciting the Christmas nativity story, accompanied by music played by students of the Reykjavík Children’s Music School. The recording was made in 1976.

Seven seconds of the recording have appeared on YouTube:
