There have been a lot of music videos embedded here, and this one isn’t the latest, or the best-recorded, but it’s one we did ourselves, done out of a desire to share with a wider audience a song I’ve been singing somewhere every Christmas for a rather long number of years.
There’s something about being “home for Christmas;” something about the fact the pace of life slows down for a day or two. No wonder that it’s so difficult for people who are alone on December 25th; being with friends or family seems to define the day. But it’s also a day for which it is so easy to miss the point. This video is an attempt on our part keep the historical meaning of Christmas at the forefront.
Most important, I hope you’ll reconnect with the thought that the familiar “birth of Christ” narrative in Luke is the start of much, much longer story. One that continues into eternity.
