Christmas.....

Yanno what? I miss those Christmas specials, too. Maybe it was just a simpler time and people watched them instead of racing around, working late, delivering/picking up kids from lessons. You know the advertisers were calculating how much good their advertising dollars would do.

I liked to listen to Burl Ives sing his songs. He sounded and looked like Christmas.


 

I agree that Christmas is a great time to be around your family but since I’ve become a Christian I now know that there is only one reason why we celebrate Christmas. This is where all the joy, happiness and the pleasure of the season comes from. Peace on earth only comes through Him. 🙏❤️
 
This Carol, by Bing Crosby, may be lesser known, but is a favorite!

O FIR TREE DARK
(Ken Darby)

as recorded by
Bing Crosby & The Ken Darby Singers
With Victor Young & his Orchestra
March 28th 1947


O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
I wander through the silent night,
And feel thy fragrance in the air,
And see thy branches robed in white.

O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
How blessed is our Christmas tide.
So strong the charm that holds me here,
In truth, I scarce can leave thy side.

The twinkling lights that deck thy boughs
Enchant me with their shining spell,
And in a language all their own
The lovely Christmas story tells.

O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
I feel the wings of angels near!

It was Christmas Eve and I was four years old. I remember the story well because my parents recounted it every Christmas for about 40 years. We were visiting my aunt and it was dark, probably about 7:00 P.M. but to a kid, night is night. My parents wouldn't leave to go home and I constantly interrupted their conversations to tell them it was time to leave...again and again, all the adults ignored me. Finally, when I couldn't take it any more, I stormed into the kitchen and hollered, "If we miss Santa Claus, I'm gonna be really pissed off!"

I suffer with seasonal depression, so from around Thanksgiving until New Years, I'm pretty much in the dumps. It is sometimes hard to walk around with a smile on my face while my brain is being depressed.

Oldman Please get an RX for a S.A.D. light. It must be at least 1400 lumins or ask about vitamin D. If you don't, you might continue to suffer.

Many of us feel depression because of over-hype of the holidays when we are missing our loved ones. Try to ignore it. 🌹
