Journal My Christmas - December 13th

Christmas Music ~

To me Christmas Music is the best part of Christmas. I love to sing along and something about all the songs just make even a bad day better. I love singing about all the festivities and most importantly Jesus' birth.

Two of my most favorite songs are "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "It's Almost Christmas Time" by David Meece

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

I am not sure what it is about this song but it is my comfort song. I love to sing it and I love to hear it. It is one that always makes me feel better.





My second comfort song is "It's Almost Christmas Time" While attending Crossroads Christian Church in San Jose back in the 80's, I was very involved in the sound ministry and this song opened one of the Christmas plays they did. It took me awhile to find it on CD but I did and it is another that I hum and sing alot.

Everywhere that I go people are looking up
People are sharing love
See the look in their eyes, something is shining bright
Is it the time is right?

Seems to be such a joyful occasion
Every face has a smile
And it's starting to feel like my favorite time of the year

And it's almost Christmas time
The time of the year that's so full of cheer
Yes, it's almost Christmas time
And I'm glad that it's finally here

Put a wreath on the door
Hang up the mistletoe, look at the falling snow
Put a log on the fire
Let's take a walk tonight under the starry sky

Let's remember the days of our childhood
Like we'll remember tonight
And remember the one who was born so that we can have life

Cause it's almost Christmas time
The time of the year that's so full of cheer
Yes, it's almost Christmas time
And I'm glad that it's finally here

Cause it's almost Christmas time...





Enjoy this fun video, it brings a smile to my face and I hope it does yours too.
