The video countdown continues with Matthew West and Heart of CHRISTmas!
This is a new one on the countdown this year. I just found this song and I love it. It speaks to what is at the heart of what CHRISTmas is all about.
This is what we all strive to remember as Christians. It's why I continue to spell it CHRISTmas. It reminds me to make sure I put Christ back in my CHRISTmas.

Today is Friday Funnies and, coincidentally, there have been a few songs/videos through the years that bring humor to CHRISTmas. Making it's debut on the countdown is the adorable old song, I Want a Hippopotomus for Christmas. We don't do Santa and I know many of you reading don't either, but this is just an adorable song. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is a Christmas novelty song written by John Rox and performed by Gayla Peevey (10 years old at the time) in 1953. The song peaked at number 24 on Billboard magazine's pop chart in December 1953. Remember, too, to have fun and build memories with your family this CHRISTmas. It's important to communicate what you want-even if others...
Day eight brings us to our next laser light show. This is CHRISTmas in Sarajevo by the Tans Siberian Orchestra. Another one of my favorites.
This is one of the better light shows as it blinks along to the music perfectly.
I love the crescendo and the strong finish! Sometimes I'm in the mood to sing soulfully to the Lord and other times I want to shout it out. This is one of those songs.

Tomorrow is another video day in the countdown. Stay tuned for more fun! Until then...

Third Day's Angels We Have Heard on High is day seven's contribution to the countdown. Wish I could find a better version where the last note isn't cut off, but this is one of my favorite versions.
I love to see what contemporary Christian bands do with the old standards. They relate better with the young people and give them a new way to sing to the Lord and find the music to bless others.
I also love how they give the audience a chance to sing. I love to sing, especially these beautiful songs about what God has done. What about you?

Day six of the Video Countdown to CHRISTmas brings us to Enya's O Come O Come Emmanuel. Angelically beautiful version. I love the choral harmony as well. I've had this one on the countdown for all five years. It just wouldn't be the Countdown without it. How many times have we been able to make a joyful noise so beautifully to the Lord? I love to sing along and become one with the choir. By myself, I may sound nice, but with the choir, I feel so much more. Isn't that the way it is when we come together as brothers and sisters in the Lord? x Let's all come together this day and make a joyful noise unto the Lord...
