Welcome to my blog! I started this blog as a place to document my journey as a photographer. It's evolved over the last couple of years to include some random musings and a glimpse of what's going with me. If you have any feedback, comments or thoughts, please leave them!

tuesday tunes: Christmas edition AND a giveaway!

Long time no blog! Just before, or was it just after? Thanksgiving I got SO busy with school and sessions and the holidays that I haven't had a Tuesday tune in quite some time. Hopefully I'll be better at it in the new year. We'll see. ;)

My #1, all time favorite Christmas song is Mary Did You Know. LOVE IT. I don't particularly care who is singing it, but Kathy Mattea does an awesome version. Julianne Hough also recorded a rendition of it + It Wasn't His Child with Phil Vassar that I LOVE. Awesome.

Mary Did You Know (written by Mark Lowry & Buddy Greene)

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters? D
id you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

Now, onto the giveaway! Comment on this entry with your favorite Christmas song by midnight PST on December 25th and win an iTunes gift card!

One disclaimer... Sorry family, you're not eligible. I still love you and would LOVE to hear your favorite Christmas song. But I'm not going to let you win. ;)

Fun! One of my favorites because it is fun and upbeat is "I Love Those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells"

Deborah said...

Mine is "Jingle Bell Rock" - I have no idea why, it's just a good song to wiggle joyfully to! ;) Happy holidays!

Yay! I love Christmas songs! My favorite is 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'...

Fun! I love Mary Did You Know also, but I think my total favorite is O Holy Night. Merry Christmas!

Hmmm....tough one. I love so many of them! Maybe "Grown up Christmas List" by Michael Buble. Although, this year I am also loving "Christmas Must be Something More" by Taylor Swift, too.

My favorite is "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". I have loved it since college; but now I especially love it since both of my girls have done a dance to it in their Christmas dance recitals. :-)

Carol of the Bells - I love that

I'm really feelin' "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" this year. Maybe its due to the lack of snow so far :)

Laura said...

O Holy Night...Martina McBride's version! Love it! Merry Christmas, Rebecca :)

I love Mary Did You Know - what a beautiful song. I have so many Christmas songs that are my favorite. I think I would say either Drummer Boy by Jars of Clay or God Rest Ye Very Gentleman by Caedman's Call.

I love "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" by David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Always makes me stop and listen.
Merry Christmas!
