Happy Christmas

"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned.
For to us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And He will be called Wonderful Counsellor,
                                                      Mighty God,
                                                             Everlasting Father,
                                                                          Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of His goverment and peace there shall be no end."

(snippets from Isaiah 9)

ps. if you can, watch the four part drama on BBC iplayer called 'The Nativity', it really helped me to appreciate what we are celebrating and why we do it. :)
