Also...and you have to BLAST this song.... Trans Siberan Orchestra "Chrstmas Eve in Sarajevo"
The Boy's choir did their performance this last Sunday Dec 14, 08. They sang "Go tell it on the Mountain" and "Do you hear what I hear" to a youtube video I audio-only recorded. The 150 or so people there clapped very enthusiastically and were so pleased that some had tears in their eyes. A few sought me out after and told me they really enjoyed it. Can't fake it. Love for Jesus is where you find it.
The youtube video is named " Do You Hear What I Hear - Hayley Westenra ". I don't have the link handy. Her voice is beautiful.
Christmas has too many aspects to be allowed to be called biblically based. BUT Christmas does spread the Gospel. It does draw attention to the part of the Gospel regarding his birth on a yearly basis for a whole month. People can't miss the lights, music, world wide celebrating, even in China where the Christmas goodies are made but the Good news is largely unheard. It serves a purpose that God does put to use for his own purposes.
I don't do the tree and stuff though, but I respect the People who celebrate in His Honor.
Regards and Blessings to you this season,
Paul
