Am I early for Christmas, or late? But that doesn’t matter, does it?
Three hours of scanning the day’s nooze, and I’m worn out. What a load of crap. I suppose I should be deliriously happy, watching the Democrat Party self-destruct; but it’s a sorry sight, no dancing in the streets.
This hymn came into my mind about an hour ago, and doesn’t want to leave.
“Christ is born” is still The News. We have every reason to rejoice in that.
No Christmas carol requests yet–and our computers have risen against us, full-scale mutiny, you wouldn’t believe the trouble I had, posting this: I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing, by Blackmore’s Night. You can’t really sail a ship to Nazareth, but the sentiment is what counts.
It’s been horribly hot around here all week long, except for periods of torrential rain (which I got stuck in yesterday)… so why not a Christmas carol?
I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing, sung by Blackmore’s Night–and please don’t get hung up on the difficulties of getting any kind of ship to Bethlehem. That’s not the point! The divine rescue of a fallen world is the point.
Can I rouse up a little Christmas cheer by posting one of my favorite Christmas carols? I Saw Three Ships–how I loved to play that on our little electric organ! Here we have it by Blackmore’s Night.
I do feel obliged to mention that there is no such thing as a “winter carol,” and I can’t imagine why they wanted to slap that label on to their video. But I’m not going to skip one of my favorite carols just because some fat-head is afraid to say “Christmas.”
Phoebe requested this, one of my very favorite Christmas carols–I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In. True, it’s impossible to sail a ship to Bethlehem; but geography wasn’t a priority when this song was first sung. This lively rendition is by Blackmore’s Night.
I hope these carols move you as they move me: open up our hearts, and let the light of Jesus Christ shine in.
Back to our carol contest! Requested by Erlene, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. Written in 1849 by Edmund Sears, performed here by Blackmore’s Night: vocals by Candice Night.
May God grant this Christmas extraordinary power to draw us to our Savior and our King.
How about a little more Christmas spirit–eh? Instead of nooze: my Christmas tree doesn’t like nooze.
Instead, let’s have Blackmore’s Night with Ding Dong Merrily on High, complete with harpsichord and bells. I can’t resist the harpsichord.
This is one of my favorite Christmas carols, and I had just decided to post it on my own when I received a message from Phoebe requesting it. Happy to oblige! I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing, by Blackmore’s Night.
I’m not quite ready to stop posting Christmas music. Christmas must live and work all the year long, in our hearts.
Patty found me this Celtic-style rendition, by Blackmore’s Night, of I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing. It ought to loosen you up pretty good.
Now I have to go to the nursing home to visit Aunt Joan, but this is the last day of the year, and I’ll have more blog posts for you.
