Friday Feel

And really, is there anymore to be said? End of the week. Closer to Christmas.

And my thoughts of the late, great Luther Vandross version of O Come All Ye Faithful.

Heard this first in 1996

Gave me chills

And still does.

We miss you, Luther.

And the Heavenly Choir just is bit more heavenly with you in it---

Christmas Eve Part 1

and I smile.

Through life's valleys there is peace. Joy. To understand the Reason for the Season. Yes, I do so miss being with my parents on this Day Before. The hustle bustle of last minute gift wraps.Decisions of what cookies to munch on and which ones to leave out for Santa and his 8 tiny reindeer. In later years to just enjoy being with my Dad, look at the twinkling lights on our tree, and still munch on cookies.

So on this Night Before this Birthday Like No Other, I'm being a bit more selfish than usual, so please indulge me as I post my utmost favorite Christmas songs. Hallelujah for YouTube! And ALWAYS remember how blessed YOU are.
And I smile.
