Christmas Music

I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I’m already listening to Christmas music. I can’t help it. It is one of my favorite parts of this time of year. Yesterday, I bought YoYo Ma -Songs of Joy & Peace. As I type, Alison Krauss is singing The Wexford Carol. A song I had never heard before now and it’s beautiful. The combination of the haunting cello and her angelic voice…puts me in a truly peaceful, Christmas-y mood. Never mind that it will likely be 90 today, or that the world around is quite literally going up in flames. Right now, I feel joy & peace. More importantly, I’m feeling full of hope.

May I be the first to wish you a very merry Christmas.
