CHRISTmas EVE

The Holiday season is filled with so many things, lots of parties,  "to do" list, Christmas plays, cookie exchanges, and memories to be made.  And among the hustle ans bustle of the season, Jason and I tried really hard to prioritize and not say "yes" to every holiday activity.  One thing we have tried to do every year (well for the last 2 yrs) is attend the Christmas Eve candle light service at our church.   Last year we were able to share a pew with our close friends, the Olin's, but this year we were blessed to have more of our family join us, so we had to reserve our own pew :)

"Silent Night, Holy Night

All is calm, All is bright,

round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace!

Silent night! Holy Night!

Shepard's quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly host sing Hallelujah

Christ the Saviour is Born

Silent Night! Holy Night!

Son of God loves pure light

Radiant beams from thy Holy face

with the dawn of redeeming Grace

JESUS, Lord at thy Birth"
