This has long been my favorite Christmas hymn.  Rich in meaning and anchored in Scripture, it doesn't get much better than this in my opinion.  I offer it here in traditional Latin as well as in a contemporary rendition.

Merry Christmas everyone.

My apologies for the low quality of sound and image on the video above.  It was recorded using my Blackberry.  I just wanted to provide a glimpse, however hazy and warbled, of the annual Christmas Singing (I think they actually call it a "Singing Fellowship") hosted by the Echo Lake Church of Christ.  Area churches of Christ are invited to participate, and although attendance isn't spectacular, there's almost always a nearly-full house. 

The first year I went I knew only the folks from the church my family attends, plus one or two folks from the Echo Lake congregation.  Over the years I've gotten to know more people, so the faces are increasingly familiar, and it feels like a nice sort of brief family reunion each December.
