For me Christmas is a wondrous time of year. It was not about the presents that I received or the food that we ate. The whole story of birth of our Lord and Savior brought me such joy. Christmas is just a special time of year due to the birth of a babe that held so much promise. It was such a miracle that the angels sang. So my song choice was "Joy to the World". I wanted to share how this song came about:

"The words and lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was demonstrated when he choose to attend Non­conformist Academy at Stoke Newington in preference to a University. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of an Independent congregation. He wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree by the the University of Edinburgh in 1728. The music to the carol is by George Frederick Handel (1685-1759)." Here is my digital card. I have to show it in two pieces as I was unable to print it out in time:
I used Creative Memories Storybook Creator to make my digital card. If you want to try this program FREE for 30 days, you can click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you and yours a "Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! " Your next stop is Jen Y. Until next time....
