#1: I wish you Joy...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 23 December 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

wonderful picture - I love the musical wrapping paper.....
I love "Joy to the World" - it is one of my favorite Christmas hymns - although our pastor told us last year that it was actually written about the 2nd coming, and not Christmas (oh well!).....

@Chris: Nevermind ... we'll still sing "Joy to the World" and think of the Babe in a manger, right? :D
