On Christmas, our family gathers together to sing Christmas songs, read the passage from Luke about Christ's birth, and enjoy traditional Christmas food and sweets.

This song has long been one of my favorites and when we sing it tonight, I'll hear the sound of my uncle's deep voice, leading us and keeping us all together....

Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shining afar through shadows dim
Giving the light for those who long have gone
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on

Oh Beautiful Star, the hope of rest
For the redeemed, the good and blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
Jesus is now the star divine
Brighter and brighter He will shine
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
