By Request, ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’
Joshua requested this one, O Come, O Come Emmanuel, performed by Enya. This hymn, originally an ancient Basque hymn, goes all the way back to the 8th century. It was the high point of my 7th-grade class’s Christmas concert. But we’re not allowed to have those anymore.
‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’
This Christmas hymn comes to us from the 12th century, when it was sung in Latin. Emmanuel, the Bible tells us, means “God with us.” And how we need Him with us!
O Lord Our God! Bless this Christmas season, and give it power to bring us back to Jesus Christ our only Savior. Amen.

Well, now comes the enormous job of setting up our Christmas tree. This year we have a duck for Christmas dinner. And tomorrow, the always-exciting ride on the Garden State Parkway, aka Ben Hur’s Chariot Race, to see my sister and brother.
I’ll try to get back to you all again before the day is over; but if I can’t, then a Merry Christmas to all!
