Merry Christmas from the Sabin clan…
It has been a delightful year talking to you…
I’d hoped to make it to 365 posts this year, but I’m going to sign off today…and may not be back until 2010. I’m feeling that vacation-y feeling coming ON!!! That and I have a LOT to do. 🙂
I want to wish you love, joy, happiness, peace, and contentment this Christmas.
Luke 2:11-14
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
It’s not necessarily a carol, but a Christmas song nonetheless: “Happy Birthday, Jesus.” It’s a good reminder about why we celebrate.
The song also brings back sweet memories of my mom. She began teaching my very young brother this song for a Christmas program in 1995 (he sounded so sweet singing it in his little boy voice). She wasn’t able to see him sing it in the church Christmas program that year because she became very sick and died on Christmas Eve. Even so, Christmas is a joyful time for our family as we remember and honor her, and are thankful for the gift of Jesus’ birth.
As an ABCYC alum, I can’t wait to hear the new CD! I love Christmas music, and the Christmas concerts were always my favorite!
