CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE
It would seem to me that those involved in the Music Business like to win the yearly competition and achieve the position of Number One in the Music Charts.
The following have achieved their goal, Boney M (1978), Cliff Richard (1988 / 1990), The Beatles (1963 / 1964 / 1965), Rolf Harris (1969), Queen (1975) Band Aid (1984) and many more.
Some of these “hits”, but not many mentioned the true Christmas Story.

I love Christmas!!

I really enjoy being with my family and friends, the giving and receiving of presents and of course “the food” (as my waistline would confirm). I also enjoy the Carol Service at our Church and attending a professional performance of Handel’s “Messiah”.
Although I know the Bible account of the coming of the Son of God to this world, I love to read the relevant chapters in The Gospels of Matthew and Luke again at this time of year and remind myself of the importance of this event in history. The event of the birth of Jesus, which we celebrate at Christmas enabled the Easter events to occur and also opened a way for me to have a relationship with a Holy God, through His Son.

If I could choose which song could be number one at Christmas,
I would choose “Hark, the Herald Angels sing, glory to the new born King!

The words of the last verse are:-
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth,
Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and Life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings
