O Holy Night – Celtic Singers

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDeXUvWbLp8

There is a little confusion in China when it comes to Western holidays. For instance, on Christmas Eve the street was littered with confetti as people exploded party poppers at the stroke of midnight for the beginning of Christmas Day. And then Auld Lang Syne is playing on all the bar sound systems. Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve – what’s the difference right? Ugh.

So thank you to my friend from the Great White North who sent me this. I got home tonight as Christmas Eve turned to Christmas Day in China. Was feeling very sad not to be with my family, and to not have the usual Christmas events around me. This video helped center me a bit.

Her is an alternate verse for O Holy Night (Cantique de Noel), and I think a more powerful one.

Chains shall he break
for the slave is our brother
And in His name
all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us
Praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord
And ever ever praise we
Noel, Noel

O night, O night divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night divine
