[My Own Eyes]

Will all the talk of Christmas trees, and music (and to some the paganess of it all!), I thought it would be fun to share your memories of your first Christmas.

Not the first one in your life, but the first one after you were saved. I was in my early 20's, and I started going to church sometimes in the summer/fall.

O Holy Night, had always been my favorite Christmas song. I remember that year when I was sorting through all the Christmas decorations and getting ready to put up the tree. I had put on some Christmas music, and O Holy Night came on. I remember singing along as I always had in the past, and suddenly tears just started to fall down my cheeks.

I had listened to that song hundreds of times in my life, but that was the first time that I ever truly heard it. That first Christmas was amazing, as suddenly everything had new meaning.
