Rejoice!

O come O come Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! 

Emmanuel has come to thee O Israel.

"O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn."

My Gift

What can I give Him, poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd, would I bring a lamb;

If I were a wise man, would I do my part;

Yet what can I give Him... give my heart.

                -Sarah Mclachlan, In a Bleak Mid Winter 

Song For A Winter's Night

If I could know within my heart

That you were lonely too

I would be happy just to hold the hands I love

On this winter's night with you

              -Sarah Mclachlan, Song For a Winter's Night

I Love It When He Plays

Because when his fingers touch those keys

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

For My Co-op Kiddos

Have a fun and safe Christmas break 

See you in two weeks!

Just Get Me Through December

"How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain

As the changing of season prepares me again

For the long bitter nights and the wild winter's stay

My heart has grown cold, my love stored away

My heart has grown cold, my love stored away...

Just get me through december

A promise I'll remember

Get me through december

So I can start again."

            -Alison Krauss, Get me Through December
