Gets me every time…

Greetings on this happiest of days! I’ll leave you today with special music which celebrates the birth day of Jesus, starting with Faith Hill’s “Joy to the World”:
.

.
One of my favorites – Karen Carpenter singing “Christ is Born”:
.

.
Set to the tune of “Greensleeves” (which is believed to have been composed by Henry VIII of England) is the hauntingly beautiful “What Child Is This?”:
.

.
The Harry Simeone Chorale’s classic “The Little Drummer Boy” (somewhere in our house, there is a copy of Rachel and me singing this in church):
.

.
An absolutely breathtaking arrangement of “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”:
.

.
One of my all-time favorites – “Do You Hear What I Hear?” (Bing Crosby, natch):
.

.
Here is Blackmore’s Night’s joyous rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”:
.

.
Sandi Patty’s gorgeous “Someday”:
.

.
And finally – while this song is actually part of the “Easter” portion of Handel’s “Messiah”, it has long been a Christmas favorite. I leave you with the “Hallelujah Chorus” (this one will put a big smile on your face!):
.

.
Merry Christmas, everyone – blessings to you and yours throughout the coming year. Thank you for being a part of our family’s life, and allowing us to be a part of yours.
