Continuing with the theme of posting Christmas favourites from readers.
I won’t be able to display all of them but here are a few to wrap gifts by or enjoy after a hectic day of Christmas preparations.
From Bec we have Mary Did You Know? by Kenny Rogers & Wynonna Judd:
* * * *
Batb’s fav is What Sweeter Music (lyrics by Robert Herrick (1591-1674) and music by John Rutter):
* * * *
Finally we have Frmgrl’s choice – Adoration by the Newsboys. (My very talented niece Michele, who designed my logo and banner loves this group too.)
I must say that this is much more relaxing than reading the news.
Maybe that’s what God is trying to tell us. Look beyond this mortal, imperfect world and be at peace. He is in control.

Update:
Monte Solberg extends Christmas wishes in his own inimitable way.
Monte Solberg: “Do UN inspectors come and tell me that if I insist on being so well rested and energetic I will have to compensate Africa?”
LOL!!
Thanks for these three very different but equally wonderful Christmas messages in song. In my Father’s house there are many mansions … and I rejoice that this is so!
G*d’s richest blessings to the BLY “family” during this Advent and Christmas Season and all through 2010!
May the blessings of the Christ Child be upon you and your family at this Holy time of the year. May 2010 be prosperous and happy for you all.
Lovely idea, Joanne! The thread isn’t long enough to put up all the enchanting CHRISTMAS music from classical to pop.
Being a Grama, you will also REDISCOVER Jingle Bells and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. All complete of course with spoon,spatulas and pots, brilliantly accompanying you as you whip up those cookies!
Merry Christmas, one and ALL and God bless you and yours!
The greatest gift of all is not “things” but ourselves:
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
Christina Rossetti, In the Bleak Midwinter

Merry Christmas Everyone
Thanks “JJ” for all you do.
Wednesday Jones is trying to leave a comment with a different female handle.
Sorry my friend but that dog won’t hunt.
How about this timeless classic, Jo-anne?!
Out of all the reindeers
YOU know you’re the mastermind
Feliz Navidad
Love, O-mar
Hel-lo, Om-ar…
Not quite my cup of tea, but hey whatever jingles your bells.
I need to listen to all the music to get the ‘SULFUR’ taste out of my mouth. I watched QP. Why are they pushing for a recess of the HofC. The panel had lots of reasons and said it would be to get rid of the detainee issue.
But the most telling or whatever was the last stmt by giggles.
Next week they will have interviews with all the leaders, Layton, Iffy and the Flaherty (sp). What does she know that we don’t know.
Also, she and ollie discussed a cabinet shuffle. As it is considered that both Prentice and McKay want to be leader, the PM will leave them where they are to wear the detainee and climate files. They also used every opportunity to diss the fact the PM was not involved in the final meetings.
I am glad he wasn’t there as it will turn into a big disaster for O and friends.
Then they showed the Christmas cards, and Ollie reflected how proud PET would be of his g/children. Travers said, a future PM in a few years.
And the new senators were mentioned and one of them joked that perhaps one of the panel-Ollie- would get a job. Snidely he said, no it wont be me.
One reason to recess would be to get the majority in the senate to be head of all committees. Can’t be done otherwise. Also would take weeks/months to get the detainee committee together again.
IMHO, the budget will contain a few poison pills to make iffy support it or go to an election, after the olympics.
PS. Forgot to mention that the GG’s Christmas Card, with a picture taken in the north, had on the back of it a recipe on
How to Cook Seal. LOL.
Mary T – I think our GG is a keeper.
What the ???? Iggy is the gift that just keeps on giving;
Ignatieff would forgo PM’s official residence
“Zsuzsanna and I will check into the hotel,” Mr. Ignatieff said in an exclusive year-end interview with Canwest News Service and Global National.
“It’s a very good question. I think it is time for somebody to take one for the team, so we’ll move into the Chateau or the Elgin [two downtown Ottawa hotels] for three or four years and let us get a residence for the prime minister that makes the country proud.”

Just watched the Fox Special on Global warming. They interviewed Mo Strong. What a scarry looking man.
Catch it on their web site later if you missed it.
CBC/CTV eat your heart out.
Re the Trudeau Christmas card Mary,I believe Jim Travers (BTW,what the H is wrong with his nose..is it growing cuz of the lies??) said,the photo was of future PM’s for generations to come!!! Can you even believe that garbage?
Must watch tv for tonite..Fox News channel has great program ‘A Lot of Hot Air’ complete with Mo Strong..really good,and easy to understand what a collossal fraud this GW stuff is.
I know Christmas music is the order of the day but how about one that just makes you feel real good. I still get goose-bumps and I’ve watched this video dozens of times.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks for the lovely, meaningful Christmas music!
Newsboys are one of my favourites as well!
Merry Christmas everyone.
MaryT..as usual Giggles doesn’t know what she is talking about. Check out SDA to find out more about that meeting that PMSH did not attend…Obama is very foolish!
“He packed his bags and left”
Story at Bourque, re moving. It seems that iffy has offered Stornaway to the PM, to move into while 24 S. gets renovated. That is what he meant when he said he and S would move into a hotel.
So, if he was talking of the PM moving, for 3-4 years, has iggy accepted the fact that PMSH will get a majority next election.
Doesn’t matter what he says, it can be twisted in our favor.

Ah ha. Thanks for clearing that up, Mary T.
Boy, 3 or 4 years from now Iffy will be pretty old, won’t he?
Of course Iffy would prefer a hotel over a real home. Hotels are for people that are “just visiting”.
Hi everyone. Merry Christmas! So as not to duplicate the videos Joanne has put up, I added one of my all time favourites: Mary’s Boy Child by Boney M.
