Another advent season past, and another advent Christmas music experiment complete... I have no idea if people find my advent music postings on Facebook interesting, annoying, or if anyone even pays attention. Regardless, I find the experience personally enjoyable. I spend quite a bit of time each day (except for those days I forgot), choosing the song, reflecting on the lyrics, and selecting a music video (care of YouTube). This gave me time to really meditate on the forthcoming celebration of Christ's birth. It also gave me an opportunity to share with others the story of Christmas through music. I had such fun compiling this year's list and I hope others were able to enjoy it as well.
So, here is the list for this year, starting on the first Sunday of advent up to and including Christmas day.

Day 2 - Angels We Have Heard on High
Day 3 - The First Noel
