Expectation.
This night is wonderful.
And around the world people are marking this evening in so many different ways.
Food will be playing its part
It might be duck in Denmark
It might be goose in Germany
It might be foie gras in France
It might be suckling pig in Spain
Music will also be heard & played:
Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill.
The Virgin's tender arms enfolding,
Warm and safe the Child are holding.
Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep.
While angel hosts from heav'n come winging,
Sweetest songs of joy are singing.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep
Happy Christmas.
AMM
