Music is such an integral part of Christmas... whether in rejoicing praise and adoration of the Christ-child, in expressing the cheerful mood of the holidays... Christmas songs and carols capture our heart by the memories they evoke.
This year my hubby and I are singing in the Christmas pageant at church.... and some of our favorite songs in the program are completely new to us, but will forever more be very special because of the memory of all the work we have put into singing them.
For example this very wonderful song that encapsulates everything about this wonderful season of love and mercy!
Some songs are so amazing in their joyfulness and exuberance... their excellence... that they instantly become our favorites..
or like this song whose lyrics are so moving that when performed with such precision that it moves right up to the top of the list..
Then there is this song that every time I hear it I still weep... because it was popular my last year of college, and my fiancee' was overseas serving in the army and I was missing him so much!
Hubby and I always stop what we are doing and sing along with this old favorite.
The medieval lass in me swells with adoration when I hear anything Anuna sings..
Then several years ago I will never forget the first time I ever heard this song.... and it was played at a small country church by a young lady (maybe age 14) who did the most dramatic interpretive dance to it.... there wasnt a dry eye in the sanctuary... I have loved it ever since
Who could deny this rendition of a great song!
And this reminded me of a song that was popular when Lynn and I were dating and how I hated to send him home on cold snowy nights...
and if I go way back in my memory banks I will end with this one..... My dear sweet daddy loved for me to play this song every Christmas on the piano while he sang along!
