Pre-Christmas Cheer

Let's get into the soul of Christmas with song: What better way to spread joyful news than through music! As you watch and listen to the first video, keep in mind its purpose is to stir the heart and lift the spirit as we enter the Christmas season.

Soul of Christmas

 

Full-bodied aromas

Permeate the nose

Along busy sidewalks

Where everything glows

Joyous melodies

Vibrate through the air

Amidst hustle 'n' bustle

Of shoppers everywhere

Bundled from head to toe

Out despite the weather

Wassailing and caroling

Keep us all together

 

Balsam, spruce and fir

Boughs that glisten and gleam

Bells, balls, and tinsel

Add magic to the scene

 

Candy Wonderland Christmas Tree

Sights, sounds, aromatic scents

Surround all the fuss

Bringing out the childish ways

In each one of us

 

Definitely one of the many joys of being a parent!

A time of giving

Welcomes heartfelt returns

Tears, smiles and laughter

Just what the spirit yearns

Great joy, new beginnings

The soul of Christmas brings

Happy birthday, Jesus

The church bell rings
