Before the lights stop sparkling, while the carols still ring in our hearts, I’d like to share with you the beautiful hymn, Love Came Down at Christmas.  Words to this lovely poem were written by Christina Rosetti in 1885.  The message is as heart-warming now as it was then. 

Chistina Georgina Rosetti was born in London in 1830 to a family with many literary talents.  She died in London in 1894.  Christina was well known as a writer of romantic, devotional and children’s poems.  Her poem “In the Bleak Midwinter” was set to music by Gustav Holst and is still widely known and loved.  “Love Came Down at Christmas” has been set to music by many composers.

I hope you’ll forgive me for not writing my own message today.  Christina Rossetti has expressed this message more eloquently than I ever could.  So, I’d like to share it with you.  Enjoy.
