The Angels Knew

26 12 2013

This year at Romsey Baptist they learnt a new song over the Christmas period which we then all sang Christmas morning at the ecumenical service.

I really like it, good words and good tune, but a couple of bits I thought were particularly interesting about it.

  • It’s a bit odd how between the verses and the chorus, sometimes there’s a break of a couple of bars or so, and sometimes it goes straight in, and you can never really tell.
  • What I really like about it though is how in the chorus, I never really worked out the tune – everyone was singing different notes together and it sounded really beautiful. We were encouraged on Christmas morning to sing any harmony that fitted over it and sing like the angels!

Enjoy 🙂

The meaning of Christmas

19 12 2013

A lot of TV programmes are currently sharing their opinions about what Christmas is really about (I guess what they mean is: as opposed to consumerism).

“Christmas is all about thoughtfulness” – Great British Sewing Bee
“For me, Christmas is all about the kitchen” – Great British Bake Off
“It’s about the smell of the turkey cooking and mulled wine” – Great British Bake Off

They’ll also say things like family or giving.

Or even love.

They all seem to have forgotten the main point:

Christmas is about JESUS!!!!!!!!

Friday Five Favourites: Christmas Adverts 2013

13 12 2013

Quite a few feel-good, inspirational Christmas adverts around this year 🙂 Wasn’t a fan of the John Lewis one this year – I’m less against it now, but it just doesn’t explain it’s own plot very well, and definitely not worth £7million

Coca Cola – quite a different message to normal!

Boots – it’s been a bit overplayed this year, but I do like it

Sainsburys – love this one, particularly spreadsheet man, and the family at the very end 🙂

Carphone Warehouse – bit of a more light hearted one!

Marks & Spencer – everyone loves a spoof of childrens’ stories 🙂
