Well Christmas time is upon us. It is my “Favorite Time of the year”. With all of the Christmas Lights up, a nice chill in the air, and the Christmas Music. I do wish it would snow though.

Speaking of Christmas Music, there are a few songs that I like to hear each Christmas. Those songs are “Mary Did You Know”, “Christmas Shoes”, the one listed below, and many more.
The below lyrics are from a song called “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. The first time I really listened to this was at a band concert where I was performing with the High School Concert Band. We had a person come in and read the lyrics as we played the song.
Here are the lyrics, please read them; in these few words there is a lot to think about.

Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Do you have any Christmas Songs that you really like to hear each year?

What Child Is This?, Angels We Have Heard on High, Far, Far Away on Judea's plains, O Holy Night, The First Noel, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, and of course I like the fun songs as well like I'm Gettin' Nothin' for Christmas, Jingle Bells, Rudolph etc. I love Christmas songs.
I like those songs too, every year I pick a new favorite christmas song for the season and I have to say that my favorite song this year is Away in a Manger. Usually a song touches me in some way and this one did just that
