Geminid Meteor Shower 2015 - How To See Them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXllHANgA38 |
December 12-14. The most reliable meteor shower of the year, the Geminids are characterized by their multi-colored display--65% being white, 26% yellow, and the remaining 9% blue, red and green. They come in at a moderate speed of 21.75 miles per second, therefore they are bright and often produce fireballs.

[little tree]
By E. E. Cummings
little tree
little silent Christmas tree
you are so little
you are more like a flower
who found you in the green forest
and were you very sorry to come away?
see i will comfort you
because you smell so sweetly
i will kiss your cool bark
and hug you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don't be afraid
look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and i'll give them all to you to hold
every finger shall have its ring
and there won't be a single place dark or unhappy
then when you're quite dressed
you'll stand in the window for everyone to see
and how they'll stare!
oh but you'll be very proud
and my little sister and i will take hands
and looking up at our beautiful tree
we'll dance and sing
"Noel Noel"

Nativita, Giotto @1305 |
These lyrics are so beautiful, every year my weary world rejoices. Tradition says St. Francis of Assisi created the nativity scenes (creche) and wrote this song. I don't know, but it seems like something he might do, being the poet he was. This artist, Giotto, was a contemporary of St. Francis.
I double dog dare any angel to hit a brighter, higher note than Mariah in this rendition.
ᴴᴰ Mariah Carey - O Holy Night (Live ABC Christmas Special 2010)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnf_wosnM2c
"O Holy Night"
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til 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
O hear the angel voices
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!
[Choir:]
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
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!
Their name forever praise we
