GeeBee, you are shopping today, God bless you!!:) I used to be a Christmas Eve shopper, it was more fun back in the day.

Anyway, have a got a special treat here for all my FRiends. It is my favorite Christmas carol for many, many years. Everyone, please enjoy, and have a Blessed, Joyous, Merry Christmas. Feel the Love:)

In the Bleak Midwinter~~Moody Blues

In the bleak mid-winter
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 mid-winter
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 mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air,
But only His mother
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.

Words by Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)

Thank you, LE!!!

I absolutely adore that song as sung by Julie Andrews and love to sing it myself. It is beautiful (both the words and the music) and one of my personal favorites, along with Pata Pata Pan (sp?).

I warmly wish you a Merry Christmas. ((((Hugs))))
