I love Christmas!!! We finished decorating our Christmas tree less than 10 minutes ago. Once again, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! It makes me go loopy. One of our family traditions is to write a wish each year at Christmas, and its much fun to read out all the old wishes. For example, my younger brother wanted Bob the Builder to visit at Christmas when he was 2. Such a cute wish. :)
My sister is going to make shortbread now. This is probably getting repetitive, but I'll say it again anyway. Say it with me! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
It's raining outside, which just adds to the Christmas spirit. When it's really hot outside, it's hard to muster enthusiasm, because it's so hot.
Our Christmas tree looks so great, standing in the lounge room, near the window. It makes it truly look like Christmas, especially in the rain. To add to the atmosphere, my sister is playing Christmas carols on the keyboard and singing along.
I'm too excited to put down anything about what happened today in history. Christmas time is such a special time of year. Lots of good memories, Christmas carols, presents, family and Christmas parties. Plus we can celebrate the One who came to live and die for us. Everyone deserves a birthday part, and Jesus gets one that's celebrated all over the world! Pretty cool.
Carols are great. Here are the beginning verse of two carols, O Holy Night, and We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
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!
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
