It's a wonderful expression of community, the sort of thing that I have only experienced here at a place like this. We all come together, share some awesome food, chat with our fellow co-workers, listen to various members of our community put on skits or sing (above you see the talented college library staff caroling for us), and then stand and sing songs together that lift up our shared faith and give praise to our Lord. Christmas carols, about the Incarnate Savior, when sung by a large room full of people who actually mean those words about "Gloria" and "telling it on a mountain" and "peace with God has come here to earth" give those songs new meaning. Rather, in such a setting such songs find their purpose fulfilled.
Indeed: Glory to God in the highest!
