Tonight at church was our Advent Program, where all the musical groups in the church perform some different songs and the congregation also sings some carols. It comes after a big dinner and our church’s “Night In Bethlehem” program, where families can go through our makeshift versions of streets of the town where Jesus was born.
I love the Advent Program, because we get to hear all the Christmas music and it just sounds so cool for everyone to sing together like that. And for the next couple of weeks at church, we’ll be singing those songs during the service. Silent Night has become my second favorite song of this season – O Holy Night is the first – because of the tradition our church has Christmas Eve night (but more about that when we get to #24).
We have a few Christmas CDs my family listens to every Christmas morning. Those songs will forever remind me of early mornings, presents, time with my parents, sisters and grandparents and the smell of a really, really awesome breakfast cooking upstairs. I have included a couple of those songs and a few other of my favorites below in my own “Ultimate Christmas Playlist.” Please enjoy – and download. You won’t be disappointed.
