One of my favorite Christmas hymns — In the bleak midwinter:
Yes, just what are you going to give to this new born King?
—-
In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
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.

A poetic re-telling of the nativity story… with the unpleasant bits left in.
On December 25, Christians around the world will gather to celebrate Jesus¡¦ birth. Joyful carols, special liturgies, brightly wrapped gifts, festive foods¡Xthese all characterize the feast today, at least in the northern hemisphere. But just how did the Christmas festival originate? How did December 25 come to be associated with Jesus¡¦ birthday?

The day of Christmas,
we celeberate His son —
the Logos made flesh,
and born of a woman.
Christians gathered,
remembering His Grace.
We had no future,
’til He took our place.
No need to dream,
the battle has won.
But eating ice-cream?
Pourquoi, Anson?
