All my heart this night rejoices
As I hear, far and near
Sweetest angel voices
Christ is born, their choirs are singing
Fill the air, everywhere
Now with joyous ringing
Come and banish all your sadness
One and all, great and small
Come with songs of Gladness
Love Him who with love is yearning
Hail the star, that from far
Bright with hope is burning
All my heart rejoice tonight
In the dark there dawns a light
Behold the glory of the Lord
All my heart rejoice tonight
Magic was spreading everywhere with those words and song filled magic in atmosphere on holy day of Christmas eve spreading joy ,happiness everywhere, snow fall covering like white sheet proving Santa Claus has started his journey and only far away the moment when children will get their gifts in form of joy happiness ,nature embracing like holding it close the beauty of nature and its ambiance significant of joyous smiles and happy hearts ,winds blowing and spreading soft and rhythmic music ,stars twinkling and hiding in clouds playing hide and seek and twinkling eyes searching for her loved ones trying to find them but its just like one long wait this time

Merry Christmas A joke and a quote
Q. Why do reindeer scratch themselves? A. Because they're the only ones who know where they itch
Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we'll be seeing six or seven - W. C. Fields
THE JOY OF SPREADING...
She was just 9 years old' But she had learnt a valuable lesson from her parents, especially her Mother' She was the apple of everyone's eyes' she was the life of her parents, who saved her life, and now, were the guiding light for their little angel' She, Janice D'Mello, was now staying with her care-taker and guardian Father Patrick' She was a blessed soul who got to live at HIS abode and serve his creations'.
A very bright student and caring by nature, Janice had always believed in spreading love and giving more than what she gets.. This meant, even if she didn't have the resources to make anyone happy, she had the means and intention to make people around her happy'. This was her way of spreading happiness and smile to everyone around her'.
Though she was a very lucky to go girl and cheerful by nature, she always felt bad that the Lord took away her parents from her, when she needed them the most' Every night, she would shed silent tears at his altar after lighting a candle and after talking to the stars' She believed that her parents were always there in the vast sky above her and heard every word that she uttered..
Following her heart, and living under the shadow of Father Patrick and her parents.. Janice grew up to be a young lady with a tender and caring heart' She always remembered the advice her mother had given but had never got a chance to implement that'. As if her wish was heard, she got a chance very soon'. It was the season of happiness and spreading love everywhere, it was Christmas time' She was an active member at all the events that were happening at the church' She had taken upon her to sing the prayer at the midnight mass, for which she had got permission from Father Patrick and the choir members'
After the midnight mass and wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and A VERY HAPPY NEW, as she came out of the church, she found a group of kids, who were lonely and starving.. Being the kind lady, that she is, she offered food, clothing and shelter.. But what she saw in their eyes was totally different' She saw that these kids were starving for love' she saw that these kids were deprived of love.. Infact, they had never felt how it was to be loved for and cared for' She wanted to do something for these kids, which will bring a huge smile on their innocent faces'
The next day, she decided to take the kids to the Christmas carnival'. She got the kids dressed up and told them that there was a surprise for all them' But they would be able to see the surprise only on one condition' There should be a smile on their face.. And as soon as she started getting them, they were off to their destination' Enroute, they danced, joked, had fun and sang.. The song was song of fun, spreading joy around them and living their life as per their wish' They had let the sunrays enter their lives and spread sunshine everywhere' They had allowed the wind to pass through them and experienced how the cool breeze felt, when it touched their skin' They had allowed the moon-light to seep in through them and had learnt to dream' They had realized that dreams do come true and Life was indeed beautiful' They had learnt to smile... and
that was what Janice's mother had taught her'
To spread happiness, smiles and love everywhere'
