It's Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas!

Have you noticed?  The sounds of Christmas are everywhere!

In our churches, certainly, as we're singing the songs and carols of the season.

In malls and grocery stores, Christmas music is playing.  And not just the "Jingle Bells" kind of Christmas music, but also "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World".  The music of our Savior's birth is also being played.  Isn't it wonderful to we get to hear our Savior's name proclaimed in places like the mall and the grocery store!

In the dentist's office.  I enjoyed the Christmas music playing during my root canal procedure yesterday.  Well, I enjoyed it when the sound of the drill didn't drown it out!

The sounds of Christmas are everywhere!

In the laughter of children.

In the sounds (and smells) that emanate from kitchens at this time of year.

Maybe you have Christmas music playing in your home throughout the season.  I know I do.

This morning I'm listening to "Joy-An Irish Christmas" by Keith and Kristyn Getty.  It has become one of my favorite Christmas albums.

What sounds of Christmas are you experiencing today?

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!'"  (Luke 2:13-14 ESV)
