silent night.

is my absolute favorite xmas song. when we were at a playdate last week, we were all talking about our favorite songs. and my answer was tied- the first noel and silent night. mostly, because of josh groban’s xmas cd that i’ve been listening to in my mom’s car while she has been down the past few weeks. tonight, at xmas eve service, we had lit the candles from our pastor, and then each of us had one [mari broke hers and played with the wax, but it was all good], and we sang silent night while holding our candles. it was just beautiful.

wishing you and your family a very merry christmas!

*silent night, holy night*

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,
sleep in heavenly peace.

silent night. holy night.
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heavenly hosts sing , alleluia.
Christ, the savior is born.
Christ, the savior is born.

silent night. holy night.
son of God, love’s pure light.
radiant beams from thy holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

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,
sleep in heavenly peace.

and a very special prayer goes out to our dear friends and her family.

merry christmas eve!
