A Christmas Tune for Sandy Hook Elementary
A Christmas Tune for Sandy Hook
by Joe McAvoy (Germany Hill)
I wrote this song on 12-12-12 (originally inspired by the notion of keeping Christ in Christmas). However, the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in CT on Friday inspired me to use this song in homage to the children who lost their lives.

Joe, My applause to you and your back-up family & friends; Your group is like the star that led the maji in the dark night to our awesome redeemer. There is always good that comes from an evil like the Sandy Hook holocaust. Your beautiful musical composition will bring the loveof JESUS and HIS compassion to the hearts of many. GOD bless you in your endeavor to help the devestated Newtown, Conn community. So proud of u.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Aunt Dolly! I hope you had a nice Christmas and please know you and Uncle Steve will especially be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

Joe, I love your inspirational song. Too often in the fast pace of the Christmas season we forget what the true meaning of Christmas is, and the stores are only interested in how much we spend. Blessings to you for this beautiful song. I’m spreading it around out here in Oklahoma and of course all the states where my family is scattered. I liked the pictures too.
Love, Gladys Thomas
