Noël

Hi all,

Had a great Christmas this year starting with the Danielite Christmas party on the 23rd! Here are some shots of it mostly by them...

Then had a fun time at the D24 thingy where there was a skit on the other end of Jesus' life. Thought it was cool, too bad I didn't watch the full version during Thanksgiving. Then it was on for supper at Bencoolen and Bedtime Stories... the movie. Very light-hearted and quite a good laugh, Adam Sandler is the funny man. I would give it a 1.5 thumbs up. Yea, so anyway to end off this post, would like to let you guys see one of my favourite Christmas songs thanks to this singer. Think I sent it to some friends previous Christmas when she sent it via some newsletter, but think will share it with everyone. Nice to see it on youtube again.


This version is pretty cool too.
In the bleak midwinter,
frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Angels and archangelsmay have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air;
But His mother only,in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give Him,poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man,I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
Indeed, friend, may u find and know personally the reason for the season. Have a merry and blessed Christmas.
