For a few moments of Christmas Cheer - Cspan is replaying the Pageant of Peace which is followed by the lighting of the National Christmas Tree and then our beautiful First Lady leading a Christmas tour of the White House. Willard Scott is Santa who told the President - hope you enjoyed your Christmas gift - delivered a bit early in November.....Maybe people can take a break, reflect, and enjoy.

I saw the live version. Great Event.
Our country is losing our very fabric of what made us, brought our ancesters here, and what makes our country great.
When the pathetic libs start keeping Church floats out of Christmas Parades....
Start calling Christmas Parades Holiday Parades.....
Start calling Christmas Trees Holiday Trees......
Starat calling parades festivals of light with no St. Nicholas, No Choirs singing Christmas Carols, and no Nativity Scenes......
This has to be stopped by these pathetic libs. Can you imagine if kerry would have won.
The mid-term elections start now. We must ensure more Republicans get elected to the Senate, House, and Governorships.
And encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to attend Christmas evenets that reflect our history, and the word of God, and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Regards,
Joe

Thankful to those that announced this would be replayed today. Only caught the final minutes when it originally aired.
Tanner brought the imagery of the words alive.
Ah! My favorite! "Oh Holy Night"
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
I wish we could get Cspan in the UK every day I see things mentioned on FR being shown on that station. We did get the RNC Cspan on our Parliamentary channel but as soon as the Convention was over the Parliamentary Channel went back to it re-runs of UK sub committees etc.

Could not agree with you more! It is beautiful to hear the thrilling words of " O HOLY NIGHT " sung in the presence of our first family and at our White House. The night when Christ was born - O night Divine - Oh night divine!

Connie Smith singing one of my favorites - Sweet Little Jesus Boy - country style. (Not like the original which is sung without accompaniment as the slaves would sing this song - but still beautiful)......We didn't know who you were......Long time ago.....when you were born.....Born in a manger, Lord, sweet Little Jesus Boy. The world treat you mean, Lord. Treat me mean, too. But that's how things are down here below.....we didn't know it was you.

Marty Stewart wrote a song "Peaceful World" just for this occasion - playing it now. He said a good and sweet thank you to the President and First Lady for giving to this country all they have given. AMEN. (wouldn't it be nice if everyone could just relax and enjoy some light, some darkness piercing light that Christmas brings - and rejoice in it just this once ----speaking to those on the "other side" who cannot seem to enjoy the light of Jesus Christ....or those who walk by the power of the Holy Spirit in the way they live their lives - such as our President and First Lady.

President Bush speaking about the Season of Advent - a season of Hope. Speaking about the Prophets and of Mary who welcomed God's plan with great faith; the wise men, the Hope that the grandest purposes of the Almighty can be found in the humblest places. The old carol speaks of the Thrill of Hope, the weary world rejoices.....every year we feel the thrill of hope as we wait on Christmas day......
Talking about Service men and women who are on many fronts in the war on terror ------ the work is dangerous and the mission is urgent. American service men and women - their sacrifices defend us all and we are greatful to them and to our military families.
Across our country - citizens are supporting our people in military with prayers and acts of kindness. Example is one Brownie troop collected candy, sunscreen, bug spray - and they made sure their packages arrived in time for the Holidays. Thank the Brownies (who are there tonight) from Chantilly, Virginia - 2 reps will help Laura and the President light the Christmass tree. Nicole and Claire. 54321.....Great to hear the great Christmas carol...Joy the World played. Now Audience sing along.
