-k- so I've discovered a way to help pass the time, and make me forget about the "joys" of morning sickness, and that is viva pinata trouble in paradise.:). no but seriously I've decided it would be fun to illustrate a few of the lesser known Christmas carols! and i know a lot are about baby Jesus and his birth and shepherds and wise men and all that, so the first song i chose is all about that, the other will be christmassy in a not forgetting the reason for the season way, but keeping it alive still..:) so the first one is candlelight carol by John Rutter, if you haven't heard it before go to you tube its a beautiful song!! my favie is the Michael Crawford version, unfortunately i haven't been able to find a computer friendly version of it... sorry.. any who, here's the first song!!

CANDLIGHT CAROl

John Rutter

How do you capture the wind on the water.

How do you count all the stars in the sky?

How do you measure the love of a mother?

And how do you write down a baby's first cry?

Candlelight, angel light, fire light and star glow, Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn!!

Gloria! Gloria! in excel sis deo! angels are singing, the Christ child is born!

Shepherd's and wise men will kneel and adore him.

Seraphim round him their vigil will keep.

Nations Proclaim him their lord and their savior.

But Mary will hold him, and sing him to sleep.

Candlelight, angel light, fire light, and star glow, shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn!!

Gloria! Gloria! in excelsis deo! angels are singing, the Christ child is born!

find him in Bethlehem laid in a manger.

Christ, our Redeemer asleep in the hay.

God head incarnate and hope of salvation.

A child and his mother that first Christmas day!

Candlelight, Angel light, fire light, and star glow, shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn!!

Gloria Gloria! in excelsis deo! angels are singing, the Christ child is born..
