Christmas At Sea ('s)

Faith Hill's version of this is my favorite, but all of the videos have been removed for copyright claims.

I'm bumping this up as it's very quickly becoming one of my favorite Christmas/Everything/Everyday songs

texasmom...do you know who this is singing ? The best I can come up with is a guy named Ted ...also, Is faith Hills version pertaining to Jesus or "a teenage girl" ???? I can only hear a fragment of her song without purchasing it.. TIA

I'm not sure who's singing it but I'm on a mission now to try to find out! 

I love it too, I'm glad I didn't find what I was looking for or I would have missed this blessing!

Faith Hill's version was on her 2008 Christmas CD.  Someone took the song and used some of the same Nativity movie scenes in a Youtube last Christmas.  That's where I heard the song originally and of course now the video is gone too.  The song is about the birth of Jesus in Faith Hill's version too.  I really love how the male vocalist changes the last "baby changes everything" to "Jesus changes everything".  So TRUE!

I found the song on a blog and I've copied the link here to the stand alone player with the song if you want to try that.

I'll keep you posted on my progress on identifying the male singer!

Here's a couple pictures of our Christmas Village.  We leave it up year round.   We put up the wallpaper (clouds) - and we used neon paint to make a moon and stars so when you turn off the lights, and turn on the Christmas lights in the village, it looks really cool.

Sassycat!  Your Christmas village is just beautiful!  Thank you for sharing it with us.  I have a small collection of the Christmas Village, but nothing that would compare to yours.  You certainly put your heart & soul into it & it shows.

Thanks.   My hubby has really enjoyed it and has done most of the work.   I just buy the stuff.   
Hubby came from a family of railroaders (Union Pacific) and especially loves playing with trains.

Yes.  We used a spare bedroom in our basement and set it up.   Its actually been there for 7 years now and we had to replace the snow this year.  Underneath the village, we built storage cabinets.   When you walk into the room the village is on all three sides and you're standing in the middle of the village.   One switch turns all the lights and animation on.   (My brother is an electrician).    Everyone stops by our house during the holidays, with their little kids, to show them the room.   But we always have fun going in there in the middle of summer and pretending its Christmas!

Thanks Mission.         We kinda cheated with the walls - used "cloud" wallpaper.   We did paint the moon and stars though.
