Whate're Befall me...

It was Sunday morning at Fellowship Bible Church in Manchester New Hampshire. Church had just concluded, and my older siblings and I watched with eagerness as the deacons set up the wooden choir stands on the stage. None of us ever wondered why they set them up after church, though now, I still muse over it, maybe so

Twelve Drummers Drumming...

By Christianna Hellwig with 2 Comments

Today is the final day in advent, and I wanted to post something really special! At first I tried to find the twelve days of Christmas, but after listening to a few videos, I became so bored with the song and the spoofs off of the song, that I decided to do something else! I started looking

Eleven Pipers Piping!

Today, I'm really in a dreadful rush, but I want to share this song with you anyway! ~ I think in this case, the video should speak for itself! ~ I wish I would be around when a group does a flash mob attraction like this! Perhaps someday I will! ~ Until then, I'll enjoy the youtube videos

Ten Lords a leaping, Nine Ladies dancing, Eight Maids a Milking...

Yes, I have missed three days! But I'm going to give you three songs to account for those three runaways! I must be brief for even now I'm short on time! But I'd ask you to take the time to listen to these three songs. I have posted them all before, so if you've been following

Seven Geese A Laying/ Swans a Swinning!

By Christianna Hellwig with 0 Comments

I mixed up the title of yesterday's post and realized my mistake after I'd already shared it all over the place! So, for your knowledge as well as for my memory, it's 'Six geese a laying, Seven swans a Swimming!' Tonight I will be going to a ball. It will be a Christmas ball but probably

Six Geese a Laying...

I don't have much time to write today, but I still want to share something with you all! I stumbled across this video on someone else's blog, and it made me cry, but the tears were joyful! I'm sure most of you have heard of the famous 'Christmas truce' between German and Allied Soldiers during world war

Five Golden Rings!

I always cry when we sing the fourth verse of "I heard the bells on Christmas Day!" When I was about five or six, my siblings would laugh at me and I translated both that, and the crying into the idea that I didn't like the song. So for many years this gorgeous hymn was chalked down on

Four Calling Birds...

Today It's rather cloudy and gloomy. And, in my home, there are some rather gloomy spirits as well! So, what can be better than a sprightly Christmas song to lift the spirits? I wonder how many of you have heard the traditional Catalan Christmas carol, "Fum, Fum, Fum!" I know I didn't hear it until I was

Three French Hens & Two Turtledoves!

By Christianna Hellwig with 0 Comments

Sheep have always been my favorite animals. There was never any doubt on that score! My siblings used to try to dissuade me from that stance by pointing out that they were killed and eaten and their wool used for sweaters. This only served to convince me of the superiority of my favorite. The sheep was useful in

A Partrige in a Pear Tree!

"Christ was not, in all likelihood, born anywhere near December 25th." "Christmas was introduced to cover up the pagan holiday of Saturnalia which the Romans celebrated at that time." "People get so excited about what they're going to get, it just becomes a time of selfish thoughts and 'me' glorification!" These and many more

Hurrah for The Pumpkin Pie!

By Christianna Hellwig with 1 Comments

Actually, it was Squash! ~ We don't like pumpkin too much around here so we call it a pumpkin pie but substitute Butternut Squash for the pumpkin; most people have never guessed the difference! But that is supposed to be a secret, so if you ever come to our place for Thanksgiving, just pretend I never said

Alpha & Omega - My time at the National Bible Bee

By Christianna Hellwig with 3 Comments

So here was the main hindrance to my writing more! - I was studying for this! - If any of you are wondering how I did; I didn't make it past the preliminarys. But my prayer before I went was simply that through my recitation or through my conversations there, I could impact at least one person for
