Tonight is Christmas

Let’s talk about Tonight is Christmas by Alabama as it is a beautiful song about Christmas. Can you tell the Alabama Christmas album is one of my favorites.

Let’s look at the lyrics:

The factories are all shut down and the shopping malls are all closed
And the busy streets are all empty except for the falling snow
And in the small towns, in the cities families gather as one
‘Cause the night of love and sharing they look forward to has come

‘Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God’s one and only Son
Tonight there’s hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world’s in harmony

But across the seas two armies stare down at each other’s guns
Each believing in their cause enough to die or kill the other one
But tonight there’ll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill
They will cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill

‘Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God’s one and only Son
Tonight there’s hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world’s in harmony

ahhhh….. Now that is peaceful. Let us remember this holiday season that the true meaning is because God sent his son for us.

We hope and pray that our soldiers get to enjoy Christmas and are safe on this day. May they soon be home with their families. Let there be peace and goodwill throughout the world.

May we all be blessed and travel safely if needed to enjoy this family time. There is no better way to celebrate than with your family on Christmas day. It is a celebration of the ultimate sacrifice. God knew what the plans were for Jesus before he was born. The separation from his son and the pain his son would endure all for you.

May this Christmas let us celebrate the Prince of Peace with reverence.
