Tis the season to be jolly, and I am doing OK
Everyplace you travel around this time of year, there is music playing. We all get very nostalgic during the holidays and sometimes there is one song above all that touches us deeply. For me it is The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. It just reminds me about home and my family, many of whom are now gone. There is no sadness as I only remember the fun, laughter, and good times. It's funny how memories have a way of filtering out the negative and centering on the positive. I had a wonderful childhood and was raised by exceptional parents who taught me the meaning of love and compassion. There is no greater gift.
This year a friend sent me a new Christmas song that was written by her brother. It is called "A Merry Christmas to Me", performed by Danny Mitchell, written by Dan Rodowicz
and Phillip Keveren. It's on Danny Mitchell's new Christmas album called "Savior
on the Way. It is just beautiful and evokes the same feeling in me as does The Christmas Song. It makes me all fuzzy and warm. Give it a listen, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Oh, that is sweet! It is nice to have a new song for the holidays. Now I am going to get myself a cup of tea and one or two newly baked Christmas cookies and spend the rest of the day "in the mood". Heck, I just might get on Amazon and order a few more gifts that people neither want nor need.

Oh Arleen, that's beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I'm passing it on.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a pretty little tune. Enjoy those cookies.
ReplyDeleteI sent it to myself to listen to later - I have some Christmas music on right now - but I will listen. sandie
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the music. I am ready to put my feet up for awhile and do some reading. I'm out of cookies. Maybe, I need to do something about that.
ReplyDeleteHello Arleen:
ReplyDeleteYou are just a romantic!!! How lovely that you are caught up in the festive mood and remembering all those happy holidays of the past.May this year be joyous too!!
The music is lovely! Your parents taught you well. Truly love and compassion are the best gifts one can give or receive. Tea and cookies....maybe I will find time next week. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDear Arleen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely new song with us. The entire song is enchanting, but the following surely would make Christmas merry for me:
"If the spirit of Christmas filled each one of us and lighted each day of the year." Yes.
Peace
Oh, what a lovely new song! Talented young man. I am sure we will see more of him.
