Today I am super excited to be joining the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Party !!!
This is the first year That I am a part of this and I'm pretty stoked to share some things with all of you 😉
Are y'all glad it's Chrismas time again?? *distant sounds of me jumping up and down and singing Christmas songs*
I think Christmas is my favorite time of year, there's so much to celebrate and give thinks for.
I think Isaiah 9:6 describes it best.
Jesus is the reason we even have Christmas and I for one am so thankful that he came into this world to save us!
Often we get so caught up with Christmas preparations and the busyness of the season that we forget to stop and really thank God for the gift he gave to us. Guysss I'm totally preaching to myself. Can we just slooowwww it down, appreciate the small things. Your house doesnt have to look like a Pinterest board *cough cough* you don't have to have 5 different kinds of cookies and deserts for Christmas lunch, your gifts perfect and #inst worthy..
instead why don't we turn our eyes and hearts towards those whose don't have family to share this season with. Christmas is a hard and painful time of year for many people all around us.
I want to challenge each one of you (and me as well) to look past yourself and show the kindness and Love of Christ in this season we set aside to celebrate Him and the light He brought into the world on that night so long ago.

It's such a joyful time of year! Dispite the cold of New York, people seem to be filled with warmth and good cheer for others ❤The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing it loud for all to hear.

Noel sung By the AMAZING Lauren Daigle
Where to even begin... THIS SONG!!! Her voice. Um everything!!! It's literally the most beautiful Christmas song EVER!! And I will admit I listen to it even when it's not Christmas *you gasping in surprise*
GLORIOUS
by For King & Country
I ADORE these artists and guyssss they just released their first FULL CHRISTMAS ALBUM everrrrrrrr *heart eyes* All of there songs are fabulous. please go listen to there music.
Out of all the Pentatonix Christmas songs Hallelujah is probably my favorite, they sing it so and also 'Mary did You Know' is pretty fantastic as well.😁
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
By Casting Crowns
Alright. Pure love!! It is the most beautiful music with a twist of melancholy, but not enough to make the listener sad. Only enough to give the chills. with new harmonies, strings, and a few songs they wrote themselves. There are violins or cellos in almost every number. This is magic. Heaven. Pure Love
WINTER WONDERLAND
Wonderful Christmas song by the ever-so-talented Michael Buble!! His songs always make me feel warm and fuzzy!! Especially during the winter holiday season!!
LAUREN DAIGLE
Light of the world
Light of the world
My favorite song of the new Lauren Daigle Christmas album is "Light of the World" - her only original song of the ten. The lyrics and music are inspired, and Lauren's voice is so worshipful! I hope she will give us an entire album of original Christmas songs in the future
What are some of your favorite Christmas songs?
