One of my favorite things about Christmas is listening to this song, from Handel’s Messiah. The video is pretty good, as it reinforces that this isn’t just about the Nativity, but the whole mission of the Savior. No “Silent Night,” this, but a thunderous, magnificent celebration of a milestone event in God’s conquest over evil.

Hands down, this is the most moving piece of holiday music. Technically, the Messiah was written for Easter, so I use that as an excuse to pull it out and listen to it then as well.
