Christmas Sunday

In our church we don't have special services on Christmas Eve or Day. The Sunday before Christmas is the one we use to have our Christmas Program for the year. The entire program was performed by the choir along with scripture reading of the Christmas story, and some congregational hymns as well.
During the rest of the year, the musical numbers at church are generally much more quiet and reverent, but for Christmas we pull out all the stops. I was involved in helping to accompany the choir on the piano. Several of the pieces involved a piano duet + organ + either flute or violin (so four of us playing). Of course in order for the piano to be heard along with the pipe organ, you have to lift the lid all the way AND pound your heart out! So few songs (in or out of church) do you get to do that. Nothing says fun and powerful like getting to put your whole heart and energy into playing something like Joy to the World! It was a ton of fun.
Now I just have to wait to get to do it again next year.
