Merry Christmas 2011


May the Christmas time of peace and joy be yours today and forever.

Christmas is many thing to many people. Around our home, one of our traditions is listening to almost non-stop Christmas music being played. Our favorites are: O Come All Ye Faithful, First Noel and Silent Night.

The Number 1 Christmas song of all time for me is, Joy to the World, played with strings, horns, brass, piano and full chorus. Nothing stirs the soul at Christmas time like the playing and singing of Joy to the World by the fireplace or at the conclusion of Midnight Mass. Here are those timeless singalong words of the first verse:

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King;
let ev-'ry heart prepare him room,
and heav'n and nature sing and heav'n and nature sing,
and heav'n and heav'n and nature sing."


Those words pretty much do it for me and why I love Christmas.

What's your favorite Christmas song?

Merry Christmas to you and and to all a good night.
