Merry Christmas!

There shall a star come out of Jacob,
And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
With might destroying princes and cities.

As bright the star of morning gleams,
So Jesus sheddeth glorious beams,
Of light and consolation!

Thy Word, O Lord, Radiance darting,
Truth imparting, gives salvation;
Thine be praise and adoration!

 

Felix Mendelssohn

From his unfinished oratorio, Christus

Text based on Numbers 24:17

 

 



Les Mis

Internet, 

Has anyone else been mistakenly thinking that Dakota Fanning was in the new Les Miserables movie based on this poster?  

I'm relieved to realize a) she's not young enough to pull this off any more, b) I'm *so* happy Dakota's not in this movie because she has always annoyed me for reasons I can't really explain, c) Isabelle Allen apparently has promise as young Cosette, and d) I'm really excited to see this movie.  

xoxo,
