Christmas is a hard holiday for me. It generally makes me depressed. This year Robbie is so into things that I hope it will be better.
I am trying to remember the "reason for the season" this year and so I am going to share my favourite Christmas carol.
O Holy Night
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

This is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. Another favorite of mine is "Still, Still, Still"
Still, still, still-
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
Holy star it's vigil keeping.
Still, still, still-
One can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep-
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep-
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Margaret. God bless you and your family.

Thanks, I have never heard that song before but it is beautiful.
