O Come, O Come, Emmanuel: December 26

2 Comments

Joyful Christmas, joyful Christmas,
Sing Noel, sing Noel!
Oh, little Stranger,
Laying in the manger,
Hear Noel, glad Noel!

Happy children, happy children
Sing Noel, sing Noel!
Faces are a-glowing,
All with gladness showing,
Sing Noel, glad Noel!

— Elizabeth Garrett

Juvenile Instructor, December 1912

  1. I hope you and all your readers had a wonderful Christmas, Ardis. Thanks for this series. Although that looks to be a pre-Christmas scene from the stockings hung by the chimney with care, that’s about how my kids looked last night after all the events of the day: lots of early-morning excitement, a wonderful Christmas breakfast invitation from some good friends with lots of visiting and playing, time at the park to play and try out a new kite (no snow here although it was really soggy!), and way more calories than any children need. Today looks to be much more relaxing.

  2. We certainly had a white Christmas here in Salt Lake — and just about everywhere else at this end of the country, it sounds like. No kite would have survived!

    I like looking at the old church magazine covers — sometimes they are old-fashioned enough to be nostalgic, sometimes they are so different in some way from today’s covers that I wonder about the change — just a change in taste? something more? that I plan to go on posting covers for a while, at least through part of January with some generic winter covers, and then at least occasionally around holidays.
