Sing We Now of Christmas

Sing We Now of Christmas Sing we now of Christmas the faithful come – angels sing - Drummer boy on bended knee before the winter rose now blooming; Sing we now of Christmas with masters of the hall – God rest ye merry gentlemen and herald angels all; Sing we now of Christmas in silent little Bethlehem town Wondering what child is this when morning bells abound; Sing we now of Christmas – Noel, Noel - the first Noel - As once in royal David’s city with friendly beasts the story tell; Sing we now of Christmas for a star up in the sky Shepherds as they watched their flocks – three kings marching by. Sing we now of Christmas on holy nights and midnights clear The Christ child in a manger stall – joy to the world far and near; 12-21-20 Contest: Christmas Rhymes Only 8-12 Lines Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Happy New Year to you dear friend. Thank you so much for your message - as uplifting as the carols we both love! I have so many Christmas memories associated with each one of them the season would truly be sad without them! Sending you all the best for 2021 along with blessings of peace, joy and hope.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas as we are still in the celebration of the twelve days of Christmas! Your words were a wonderful gift on Christmas Eve. Thank you! For me carols tell the Christmas story - each from a different perspective and in a different way! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season celebration filled with peace, joy, light and hope.

I love Christmas carols - they are one of the treasures of this awesome season. They brighten my days and lift my spirits. Was so fun to gather them together for this Christmas chorus. Thank you for your wonderful message, Mala. It is special to me. Sending you Christmas blessings for a very Merry Christmas my dear friend!

Many thanks Caren! Christmas music has long been a part of my Christmas celebration that I treasure! This poem is based on the carol Sing We Now of Christmas that is the foundation of my favorite Christmas album. Always happy to have another caroler sing with me! Merry Christmas to you! Sending you Christmas blessings!

Thank you so much Belle! For me the Christmas carols are so integral to my celebration of Christmas. I just had to write about them. Thanks for joining my sing-a-long! Merry Christmas to you and all those you love!
