Oh, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,
Shining afar thru shadows dim,
Giving a light for those who long have gone, have gone;
And Guiding the Wise Men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay,
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on.
To here this song, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, go to YouTube HERE... this is done accapello. there are dozens of musicians singing this song. this one shows the lyrics.
For Yamini on Final Friday Fiction Day
In Christianity, holly was adopted as a symbol of Christ's crown of thorns;
the crimson berries a symbol of his blood and the evergreen a metaphor for life after death.
The tradition of decking the halls with boughs of holly at Christmas continues today.
Yam, from my kitchen table, to my kitchen floor,
to you, I wish I could have brought it to your front door.

OH Sandra, and such a welcome you would have, had you been able to do so!!! I adore your star but the holly even more. Thank you and I wish you speedy healing!!! YAM xx
Oh wow. Cue the theme music from Twilight Zone, won't you?
A little while ago I was sitting with my coffee and listening to Christmas music. Something I'd not heard before. But gosh, it's so pretty.
THEN I open your blog and it's the same song. That just made my morning!
PS - Except, I saw what Yamini wrote. What??!?! Went over to Beau's and read about your 'gift.' I hope it's not too painful? Prayers for healing!
beautiful! Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to you, Bob and Beau!!
Merry Christmas to you, Bob and that very handsome Beau! I have had my Crown of Thorns plant since 2003 when I received it as a gift. It was a few inches tall then. Now it is between 3-4'. It is my daily reminder of the pain and suffering HE endured.
Thank you for the post and song. I hope you had a rich and peaceful day.
Late getting to this post but it is a sweet one for Christmas Day.
