FOREWORD
For Preview Only
With the hearing of winter's first treasured song we are gradually gathered from the noise of our daily enterprise and drawn into the hopeful sounds of Christmas. With great expectation we begin to decorate our days with the sights and songs of this blessed season and prepare our hearts for the warming candle of Christ's birth. With reverence we take from the closets of our heart the special memories of Christmases past and place them thoughtfully in our homes like sacred relics. Our places of worship reverberate with the time-honored carols of our faith and we remember that we are loved.
As you prepare and present this "celebration of carols," may you be reminded of Christ's mercy and grace. As you hear the timeless story may you grasp hope with all of your heart and experience the rich abundance that is the true gift of the season. May joy and peace surround you as you sing!
Let Christmas begin!
