Happy Holiday

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Today is Christmas Day and by the time I post this devo, the gift-opening will be over, we’ll be disappointed or full of joy, and all of the preparations will leave us tired, as we fall into bed.

Did you “rock” around the tree today?  Did you have a “sentimental” feeling or did you feel “jolly?”

My favorite part of this song is the last two lines “Everyone’s dancing merrily in a new old-fashioned way.”

Christmas is coming to a close and a new year is on it’s way. I want to go out dancing with a new spring in my step, merrily (cause a merry heart does good like a medicine!), and yet I don’t want to lose the nostalgia that Christmas and it’s sights and wonders bring.


May we all take the joy of Christmas with us into the end of the year, on into 2014, rejoicing in Christ our Savior – the best gift of the season.
