Note: Blogger is doing something strange with the texts again, but I'm not messing with it after what happened the last time...

Note: I have several posts here related to Advent and Christmas. Just type ADVENT in the Search window above or click on the link to the right.
This is a familiar song which just about everyone loves, mainly because of its emphasis on family, warmth and the general coziness of the Christmas season. Some people find this one a bit sad to listen to due to various family circumstances, or memories of how things "used to be", loved ones who have passed away or left the home, etc. Much of the song is in a minor key which contributes to this feeling. If this holiday season finds you a bit melancholy, try to remember that there is a Gift and a Person who came just for you and Who never changes...

Luke 2:10 - 11
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Malachi 3:6
"For I, the LORD, do not change..."

The Christmas Song
a/k/a Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you.
This LINK with the song recorded by Nat King Cole is an all-time favorite.
If you've never had "chestnuts roasted on an open fire", they really are delicious. We tasted them for the first time at Disney's Grand Floridian Hotel. At the entrance when you get off the monorail, there has been in the past a man standing there roasting them for people to taste. I honestly think that the man in this Google photo below is the same man that we have seen there roasting them. :)
