Wishes you all a Merry Christmas
Christmas has had a long and varied history. It was been celebrated for centuries by different people, at different times, in different places, and in many different ways.
Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is celebrated around the world.
Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.
The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass".
When You Wish Upon A Star
Music by Leigh Harline / Lyrics by Ned Washington
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Christmas the time of the year that brings expectations to the children.
Christmas is the children’s time, children in all ages.
The Christmas season liturgically begins on Christmas Eve, and is preceded by a four-week fast called Advent.
For me Christmas is the end of Advent time. I love Advent time with the preparations for Christmas.
My band always gives an Advent concert for free in one of
Our last song is usually Cantique de Noel, my favourite Christmas song, but this year we played Silent Night after Cantique de Noel, just because the choir wanted this song to end the concert.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
After the concert we invite all to coffee and Christmas cakes.
As I wrote the concert and coffee is for free, but we hope the audience will leave some coins in our pot. One day between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve we will visit the children’s hospital in
Christmas is the time for reflections, reflections over the year that’s soon coming to its end.
The last months of 2008 have brought economic crises all over the world and the crises have made business/shop owners worried. Worried that the costumers won’t spend their money buying expensive Christmas gifts.
This year I have spend less money than ever on Christmas gifts, not because of the economic crises, but because I want to break the tradition of leaving my money in the shop owners cash desk.
From me my friends get home made bread and marmalade, marmalade I have made from fig, orange, apricot and blackberries. Marmalades I have seasoned with cinnamon, whiskey and clove.
My friends also get the Christmas book “Sorgenfri”. This book is as a local “The Big Issue” from
I think this Christmas book is a great gift. I have met several sellers of the book and I really admire them standing in the cold weather, always with a smile and very polite.
Wishes you all a Merry Christmas, and I hope you have the Christmas spirit in you.

war is over - if you want it
