Do you have a favorite Christmas carol or hymn?
There is a song that I’ve heard on the radio several times in the last couple days, that I just have to share with you all!
I thought I’d heard all the Christmas songs – and from every perspective that could be written. But I’d never heard one from Mary’s perspective, singing to a newborn baby Jesus. Have you?
It really brings home the Christmas season to me – it’s haunting and beautiful. And its a viewpoint I’ve never really thought about. And it’s one that is so poignant to me now, as mother myself.
In case you haven’t heard this new Christmas hymn- I’m including a link to it. Not sure how long the link will be up. But if you have the chance I really encourage you to give it a listen. Perhaps it will touch you the way it touches me:)

Francesca Battistelli’s “You’re Here”
Merry Christmas!
About Shannon SchmidShannon traded in her sensible NYC TV producer shoes (they were best for taking the subway), for a pair of Texas Cowboy boots when she married her best friend! He's at fault for making this Yankee a Texan! Shannon writes about all things that make a house a home. Her chief blogging inspiration is being the proud & slightly neurotic mom of a preschool age daughter.
You can find Shannon on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and her new favorite place to hang out, Google+.
So pretty and sweet! She has a gorgeous voice. I have never heard a song from Mary either. Thank you for sharing the link.
@Fiona, No problem Fiona- so glad you enjoyed it as well! I thought it was a really unique take on a holiday song:)

@Kim, I love getting chills from a really good song! One of my fave things ever- glad it gave them to you too! Will def go check out your Joy Williams recontamination!
Wow! Beautiful song!! Just bought on Itunes. Thanks for sharing!
@Kerri, Kerri- so glad you like it too! I also bought it on itunes, it’s a song I want on my Christmas music list permanently! Took forever to find out what artist sang it- I just kept hearing it on the radio and loving it!
So glad I’m not the only one enjoying it this year!
She reminds me of the Nicole Nordham CD you sent me a few years back. Really beautiful.
@Danielle, She reminds me of Nicole Nordeman too! And the Noel part is so catchy and pretty like a Nicole Nordeman as well.
Beautiful song. I saw her in concert a few months back. What a talented young lady! Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard it before.
I love this! Thanks for sharing it.
