Songs of Joy

Sing the songs of the season, joyful and triumphant, toe tapping and heart thumping to the beat of the joyful music. If this sound is so joyful why does everyone complain about all the blissful music that fills the air? Do we really miss the repetitive songs that are on the regular syndicated stations? Do we really want to hear the top ten again, and again? A few short weeks of change, what can the harm be in that?

If you like classical, jazz or the hoe down of the country sound, there is a Christmas song to delight your ears and sing that familiar beat. What ever digs you prefer there is something that I am sure will lift your spirits. If not the rhythm may it be the words that resound in your ears, bring a smile to your face and dance to your feet.

I am not the type to go all out during the Christmas season, the work of the set up and the tearing down of the holiday decorations has never been on my list of favorite things to do during my adult life, and since my children are young men now, we do not feel the need to have the house decorate with any trimmings. What we do enjoy most is the relaxing day of good food and being in the company of family.

My Mother is the caretaker of Christmas, the master chief and hostess for the day. This Christmas dinner promises to be delicious and mouth watering, the apple pie will be cut into six equal pieces, topped with ice cream, and savored while the card game of choice is in full swing. It's going to be another GREAT Christmas!

May the Holly and the Ivy fill everyone's ears and the smiles on your faces bring joy to your hearts.

Many times many way... Merry Christmas to you and yours.
