Click to listen:

Savior of the Nations Come

Savior of the nations, come;
Virgin's Son, make here Thy home!
Marvel now, O heav’n and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.

Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heav’n enthroned.

Brightly doth Thy manger shine,
Glorious is its light divine.
Let not sin o’ercloud this light;
Ever be our faith thus bright.

Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
Ever and eternally.

All Is Well

Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love's light
Sing Al-le, sing Alleluia

All is well, all is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come, go and tell
That He is in the manger
Sing Al-le
Sing Al-le, sing Alleluia

All is well, all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well

Must depend on where you live. We’ve had stations playing non-stop Christmas music since right after Thanksgiving.

Most cities have at least one station that goes “All Christmas” around Thanksgiving.

I play guitar and ukulele.

My favorite Christmas songs for the uke are the Vince Gauraldi songs from the Charlie Brown album. Linus and Lucy, O Tannenbaum, Christmas is coming, Christmastime is here. I play them all year round.

I also love all the standards: I’ll be home for Christmas, Chestnuts Roasting, White Christmas.

I love Christmas songs with lots of Jazz chords.

Click to listen:

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming, as men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
Mary we behold it, the Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright, she bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

Click to listen:

I Wonder as I Wander

How Jesus, the Saviour, did come for to die
For poor, ornery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky

When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cows' stall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall
The promise of ages
And they did recall

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have had it
'Cause He was the King!

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the Saviour, did come for to die
For poor, ornery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky

I don’t like much Christmas music of the modern variety, but I do like some older stuff. Nat King Cole is great and my all time favourite for that sort of thing. He has just about the most beautiful voice:

And I love the Michael Crawford version of Oh Holy Night, too:

My daughter was craving the old stuff a couple of weeks back and found this one by Frank Sinatra:

And the other night, after hearing a piece by him outside at the credit union, I started listening to some Willie Nelson traditional Christmas music that was quite nice:

I admit, I’m already burned out on Christmas music.
Two years running, our local shopping areas decided to start playing Christmas music... second week of October.

In Orlando FL this afternoon. Disney City. The Ponderosa steak house. Wall to wall country spiritual Christmas songs.

I had a tech interview at Disney earlier that day. Wish me well. Not a mickey mouse operation.

Well there’s no pleasing some people! Too little or too much!
