It's Time For Christmas Music!

I am a huge fan of Christmas music. When the season comes around, I can't get enough. Needless to say, I'm ecstatic that two (yes, two) radio stations here in the Phoenix area are playing continuous Christmas music!!!!!

So, I've decided in addition to my regular posts, during the holiday season, I'd share thoughts, lyrics, videos on some of my favorite (and sometimes not-so-favorite) Christmas songs, starting with:

Do You Hear What I Hear
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere,
listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

I want to preface by saying, I really like this song, depending on who's singing it. Third Day has an amazing arrangement. That being said, it also make me laugh. I mean, If I wrote it....

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"whooooooosh" (because wind can't talk).....

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Baaaaaaa" (same problem as the wind)......

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him blankets and coats.....

Just saying.....
