Caroling Through J-Land

                xmascarol.gif


To participate: 

1) Make an entry titled "Caroling Through J-Land" with these same instructions so others can play along.

2) Visit as many journals as you can and look for their entry titled "Caroling Through J-Land". Leave the title of your favorite carol, along with your name and link to your journal for other carolers.

3) Spread the word so we all can meet new friends and spread some Christmas cheer!

4) Caroling ends this Sunday night at midnight to give everyone plenty of time to make the rounds.
 


I don't know how or why this became my favorite Christmas song.  Every single time I hear it I get goose bumps and completely choked up.  Half the time I can't even get the words out.  My throat becomes tight and my eyes fill with tears.  Maybe because it isn't all about materialistic things, but a kindness, something from the heart.  Maybe it's because I've been that 'poor boy' with only my love to give.  Maybe it's about new life and the effect it has....  It's been my favorite so long I really don't know I just know it is.....pa rum pum pum pum

Little Drummer Boy


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum 
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum 
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum 
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, 
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, 

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, 
When we come. 

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum 
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum 
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum 
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, 
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, 

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, 
On my drum? 

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum 
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum 
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum 
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, 
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, 

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum 
Me and my drum.

What a wonderful thing to do for Christmas! I haven't sung carols in years (except in church), but I'm singing 2 for this caroling event: Carol of the Bells and Angels We Have Heard On High. No journal to post, but had to put in my $.02 worth.
