Holy Night

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt His worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine

And here's the version sung by Mr Josh Groban.

Today's blip was taken at Le Monastère restaurant, high up on windy hill in San José. It's a very special location for Christmas Eve (in a rather exclusive neighbourhood...) with views over a large part of the metropolitan area. 4 festively inspired courses (including turkey, but no sprouts(!), and a gorgeous bottle of wine...)

***A very merry and peaceful Christmas to one and all - wherever in the world you may be...***
