O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the soul felt its 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! O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night devine, O night! O night divine! Chains he shall 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! Let ever, ever praise we, Noel, noel. O night, O night divine! Noel, noel! O night, O night divine! Noel, noel! O night, O night divine!
今天是平安夜，早上起来唱了这首《O Holy Night》。想演唱这首歌很久了终于在今年平安夜这天完成了心愿，小哥给了我大大的鼓励，说是听过我唱的音最准最有感动的歌，太高兴了。老哥空时喜欢去casino玩，今天我们全家就预定了去赌场吃圣诞晚餐，难得的全家团聚， 回来再听大家的歌。这首歌里有天使唱歌算动物组的一员吧。
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the soul felt its 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!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night devine, O night!
O night divine! Chains he shall 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! Let ever, ever praise we, Noel, noel.
O night, O night divine! Noel, noel!
O night, O night divine! Noel, noel!
O night, O night divine!
每年圣诞节前，医院有个传统会包场动物园三个晚上，让员工和家属have holiday dinner和观赏holiday lights，坐小火车看表演和晚上仍然活跃的动物们。今年因为病毒就只能在医院园区做了很多彩灯开放给大家开车观赏，算是在艰难时刻也要把节日庆祝的传统继续下去。我最近迷上了摄影和几位一样爱好的同事约了一起去拍彩灯，结果我彩灯照片没有拍好几张，做模特儿做了半天，非常喜欢这组节日照片在这里和大家分享，真心感谢摄影师的努力和功力，在夜晚闪烁的灯光下还能拍出这么清晰的照片。
圣诞节的意义在于要我们看到生活中的真善美，让我们因着对和平安详的世界的祈祷而心里充满希望和快乐；也让我们记住耶稣基督的诞生给人带来的光明，总让人感觉到心里柔软和温暖。一位远在香港的朋友告诉我他放假了会去孤儿院看孩子们，也让我在不幸的泪光中看到了基督博爱的光芒在人间闪耀。
祝大家平安夜平平安安甜甜美美！
