Day 24- Silent Night
One of my favorite Christmas songs. Of course, I seem to be saying that nearly every day. I really just want to say that I am so proud of myself for making it to today, Christmas Eve with this. Last year, I didn't make it even halfway, so I'm tremendously proud of myself.
We went to Mass tonight and besides the fact that I'm seriously annoyed at the Catholic Church (more on that in a minute), I was so happy they kept with the format. They shut the lights out and we sang all three verses of Silent Night. I wanted to do it in German, but nope, just English.
Before I get to the song, I just need to rant for a minute.
I'll put it this under a cut so if you don't want to read about my annoyance, you can avoid it and get to the music :D
Seriously, the Catholic Church changed the wording for the mass. Instead of "And also with you," we now need to say "And with the spirit," or some stupid shit like that. I'm annoyed. They can't make me change. The priest was annoyed with us because we kept saying the old words. And... they changed the prayers! How do you change prayers?! I learned this stuff in 2nd grade and refuse to change. How about the older people who have been doing this for 40 years since they changed it the last time?! Stupid crap... I'm not happy :(
Okay, now that's over :D On to the music :) This is the Mannheim Steamrollers version of this song. It's simply beautiful. There are no other words to describe it... just beautiful.
