O Tannenbaum

Decorating the Christmas Tree is a favorite night
Our home transforms with sacred light

the children's angel faces slow,
with all the lights so bright aglow

we love thy branches ever green
warm hope that triumphs cold and mean

the miracles of life renew
and Oneness in our families too


Joy and wonder in each day
Is ours throughout this Hol-y-day


O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum How wonderful each mem'ry!

Corny I know, but that is me. We love Christmas time even in our small space it feels a little more magical when there are lights and reminders of The Savior. O Tannenbaum is a song that reminds me of singing with my Dad in German and so it is a happy song for me.
