Once a Year by Josh Wilson

I love this song becuase it is so encouraging to keep the spirit of Christmas going all year long, not just during the season.  Everyone, including myself, feels so much more motivated to give and share at Chrsitmas time, but the reason we celebrate Christmas is because Jesus was born.  If we have accepted Him into our lives as Lord and Savior, we are free to have the same joy fill us all year long.  The holiday ends in December, but Christ reigns for eterninty. 

 

So why don't we celebrate Christ mas more than once a year?

This is the chorus:

Once a year December's here and our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer to those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas more than once a year?

Sounds of the Season

Christmas music is one of the best parts of the holiday!  It's so joyful and uplifting.

In my Spanish class yesterday, we got the opportunity to play some Christmas songs, American and Spanish, in a bell harmony.
