Christ the Saviour is Born

Every year Christmas seems to arrive earlier and earlier. This year is no exception. It is, of course, embellished by the fact that I have agreed to front the Christmas Eve Service at Burnett. That means that I have been listening to and sampling Christmas songs for the past five days. And believe me when I say that planning a service of such proportions is a challenge. But it's a challenge that I do enjoy, and it was not forced upon me. I have listened to more Christmas songs that probably in my life. There are a lot of terrible Christmas songs out there. Now keep in mind I do not like a lot of it, but the basics are fine with me. Remixes of said classics can be fantastic, but more often than not they are awful. Now if you are up for a good one, based on my opinion, Silent Night by a pretty sweet band called Seabird. It is not anything like any other Silent Night I've ever heard. And that helps make it as good as it is. It is unique. As unique as a remake of a song done by thousands (not an overstatement) can get.
On a side note, yes, I have realized it has been a while since I be blogging. I will try to get back into the habit of spending some time here and there updating all you interwebbers on my somewhat bland lifestyle. But until then . . . Merry Christmas, I guess!
