Bridget, I love to sing People Look East--makes me happy while I "make my house fair" as I am able. http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/people_look_east.htm

Love, love, love the picture from your childhood - it really captures the essence of the post and of the time. I'm very nostalgic about old holiday photos!

Oh, I love this Bridget! Singing is such a huge part of this joyous season!

Jenn Miller

The music is such an integral part of the season. Love your post, Bridget, and especially the picture! People Look East is a favorite in my family, too. Lo, How a Rose Er Blooming is also considered an Advent hymn.

That b & w picture is great. I love to sing Advent & Christmas songs, even though my voice isn't nice imo. I always remember that a singer who came to our Church said that God gave us our voices so we shouldn't complain about them and we should use them to praise him. Anyway, I'm going to try to teach my dc some songs and carols this year. Around the wreath is a nice idea.

This is a great idea. It is so much harder to find Advent hymns than Christmas ones. Here is a page with some Advent hymns in English and Latin. Not too many, but it is a good starting place.

Christmas Novena

  • Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen
