Although it’s not yet Christmas, this talented family of singers and musicians seems to be in the Christmas spirit.

The Petersens are a full-time family band based in Branson, consisting of Katie Petersen on fiddle, Ellen Petersen Haygood on banjo, Matt Petersen on guitar, Julianne Petersen on mandolin, Karen Petersen on bass, and Emmett Franz on dobro.

Christmas Time’s a-Comin’ is a classic Christmas song written by Bell Labs engineer Benjamin “Tex” Logan. Originally sung by Bill Monroe in 1951, it was later covered in 1994 by country music singer Sammy Kershaw.

Christmas time’s a comin’, Christmas time’s a comin’
Christmas time’s a comin’ and I know I’m going home

Snowflakes are falling, my old home’s a calling
Tall pines are humming, Christmas time’s a coming
Can’t you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
When it’s snowing I’ll be going back to my country home

The Bible goes into great detail about the prophecy and miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. It is one of the most important events in biblical history. As we celebrate, let us remember the love of God for us and spread the good news with others.

Verse of the Day

“The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

Romans 13:9-10
