      @justforever96 6 місяців тому

      I mean the list of classic Christmas carols isn't that big, so most of the Christmas carols are "one of the greatest" if you actually know them. And a carol by definition is sacred. If it's not sacred, it's not a carol, it's a Christmas song, or worse, a holiday song. But yes, for me this is the quintessential carol. I don't my favorite necessarily, but it's the exemplar somehow, perfect on every way.
      Gotta say, some of the lesser known stuff is just bangin as well. I didn't know that medieval Christmas music was an available genre until last year, and some of that is really good stuff, and a couple of my favorites are from the shape note tradition, Star In The East is one, Babe of Bethlehem is another. Sherburne and Milford. And I think it's a newer composition in the old style, but the song Glory Shone Around in the Shenandoah Harmony (and the Cooper Sacred Harp) goes hard, literally.

      Rational Raven Right. You mean like the time when he said that you are to choose him over family and that if you didn't hate your family, you weren't worthy? Or perhaps the time he chased people out of the temple with a whip? Or the parable where he expressed desire for his enemies to be killed in front of him? Or when he didn't know when figs are in season so he threw a temper tantrum and killed the tree? Or where he said that if you aren't with him, you are against him? Or where he turns his back on his mother and family? Or where he advocates thought crime? Or how about the very idea that you will endure torment in an awful place that he created for the crime if not believing in him as a god? It's almost as if you haven't read his story.

      ERICK: can’t have it both ways, bro. Gotta accept something’s by FAITH alone. Can’t see it or explain it, just go with that heart warming feeling. Let Him in, man.it won’t hurt, you’ll feel a peace that you’ve NEVER felt before. Look up at the sky at night. How far away, they stay in place. Planets revolve around the sun, like the Earth does.But they don’t collide.
      Look at a baby. Tiny little human. Imagine creating such a miracle. It just IS, my man. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart (not brain) and lean not to your OWN understanding. don’t try to de-code the IT . If we had the intelligence of God our Creator, we wouldn’t NEED Him. He wants us to love Him. Let go, and let God I’d the truth. Merry Christmas!

      It was planned to be very dramatic as Dean John Hall arrived at the High Altar and incensed the altar, the over dramatic playing was to signify Christmas had well and truly started, also it was to show off the High Church element of the Church of England to those watching on TV.

    When I think of Christmas I think of the older versions and churches. It brings you into a reality and a peace with God.

    This brings back memories when my mother used to take me to mass especially at Christmas.. I thought this a Catholic celebration, but was corrected by my wife, that this is an Anglican service.
