Omega’s Christmas Joy
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Yes, of course, I like Christmas Music in my celebration of the Birth of our Savior Jesus!
Once a year I love to do a Christmas Program and it always brings tears to my eyes thinking about the many past Christmas Days with family and friends. These songs bring reflection on what blessings God brings to our lives and the many loved ones who are no longer with us on Christmas Day. What a Wonderful Time of the Year to celebrate this wondrous occasion. Here is the happy set for celebrating Christmas.
One of my favorite Beethoven compositions!
My all-time favorite, Harry Connick singing and playing “Ave Maria”
Home with “Silent Night”
Nate King Cole with “Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem”
Home singing “Do you hear what I hear “
Michael Buble with “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”
Home “Angels we have heard on High”
Home “Come Let Us Adore “
Harry Connick's “Oh Holy Night “
Andy Williams's “What Child Is This “
Home “Away in the Manager “
Nate King Cole's “Joy to the World “
“Have Yourself a Merry Christmas “
Nate King Cole's “Christmas Song “
Harry Connick's “When My Heart Finds Christmas “
Andy Williams's “Most Beautiful Time of the Year “
Home “ I Will be Home for Christmas “Perry Como's “ Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas “
Perry Como's “No Place Like Home for Christmas “
One of my favorite Christmas Songs, the Eagles “Come Home for Christmas “
God Bless All of You on this Wonderful Christmas 2023
