Have a great holiday celebrating with you family and friends!  See ya'll next year in 2013!

Silent Night, most loved and sung carol.

Christmas time is here!  I will not do as many postings as I have in the past about Christmas.  It is my favorite holiday but I will just do two postings and then another one when it gets closer to New Year.

I never knew this about Silent Night till I watched the show about it on this last Sunday.

The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time!

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "

Me being unique and good different.

Sorry for all my readers for not doing a posting, since the beginning of the year with my New Years greeting, school has got me busy enough that I don't have free access to write a blog.  I knew that this would eventually happen.  Though I will do postings as usual they probably just won't be as much as in the past.  In the summer I probably will have more postings since I will have more time on hand.

A while ago I did have a posting about me being unique and different and I deleted it.  I deleted that posting for because I felt that at the time it just wasn't what I wanted to post.  After doing some thinking about what I did by deleting that posting I realized I should have kept it up.   For that reason I am writing this post instead. 

I know that I am good weird at times.  That I ask questions that no one else bothers asking.  I only do that to get to know you better.   Even with my jokes can be funny to some people and then disgusting to others.  I try to be funny and enjoy reading you laugh.  I know that I am not like everyone else.  That it what makes me unique and different.  I am glad for the friendships that I have with my friends.  I am glad that the friends that I have to understand me and apologize and still be my friends.  It’s hard when my friend doesn't apologize and they don't want to be my friend anymore. 

I don't expect everyone to like me and I know that is not possible.  There are those who don't like the way I look, the way I act or say things.  If you can't stand my faults and know that I am human just like everyone else on this planet, then I forgive you and sorry that you don't want to be my friend.  I will not change just so you can be my friend.  I will be the way I am and proud of it!
