A Musical Advent, Day Three
Just under the wire!
A Christmas to Remember, Amy Grant, A Christmas to Remember
I admit, I'm more in love with the tune than the words on this one, but it's still a sweet song. All about anticipation, which--asjeanniemac pointed out--is part of Advent.
Setting our [?] hopes on a big snow tonight/We'll wake up to a world of white I think I've experienced a white Christmas about three times in my life; in this area it doesn't usually snow much until January (last year being a notable exception). I used to wish it would, really hard; even now, I think it would please me, so long as it wasn't heavy enough to keep everyone from church/visiting/etc.
Come to that, it occurs to me that my parents may not be attending the Christmas service this year, due to church problems I'm not going to detail here. I would be sad if that turns out so; for me, the services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are an essential part of the whole celebration, even if I don't usually manage to make it to regular Sunday services. But going on my own wouldn't be the same at all. Well, I won't borrow trouble yet.
There have been a couple of years when Christmas was warm enough for us to attend church wearing sweaters rather than coats. I found this somewhat unnatural, but that's just me. *grin* Very Northern-hemisphere-centric, though I suppose the folks in Florida might disagree...
