Merry Christmas

The time has finally come, and Christmas is here. No more posting of daily Christmas songs (phew) or wrapping of gifts, but all the more time for a stupendous time filled with love, food and companionship (or whatever one wants to fill it with).

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing and whatever you believe in, I wish you the best of the best, a relaxing Christmas (or time off) and many wishes that can come true for 2010.

It's been a hard year for many, and now there's hopefully time to take a moment to look back, reassess, and make new choices. We all learn something new every day, I have learnt incredibily much during 2009 and that's why I say 2009: Thank you! Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. 

 Here's a beautiful song, the one I had saved for last for my self invented Christmas extravaganza, probably the reason I posted a song every day, so I could have a grand finale with this one: Christmas Must Be Tonight, by The Band. Please take a moment to hear it, if only for their great harmonies:)

 Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
Wheels start turning, torches start burning
And the old wise men journey from the East

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice"

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

Merry Christmas All!
