Day 16: S.a.D Christmas in America
Christmas greetings! For the month of December, I plan to share a Christmas song each day with the hope of adding a little extra cheer to your holiday. Part of my challenge in this series is to bring to you a new-to-me song or artist discoveries. There’s no telling what song pick I’ll go with but you’ll find artists from all genres celebrating in song this almost magical, holy season.
2001 was a horrific year. Pat Benatar and husband, Neil Giraldo, wrote a touching Christmas carol in honor of the victims of 9/11 with Christmas in America.
The holiday season is an especially difficult time for those who’s loved ones are no longer in the picture. Please, say a prayer for hurting hearts everywhere!
Don’t even worry with leaving a comment. This is for your enjoyment. There’s no worries or fuss or strings attached. Simply a moment for you to unwind and refresh your mind and body. 😉
I’ll be here with bells on tomorrow morning with another Christmas song waiting to start your day and please don’t let the hustle of the holiday weigh you down. The holiday festivities are beautiful and fun but the true reason warms the heart better than these earthly things. Take time to bask in God’s great love. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! X💋X💋, Cathy

Hi, Cathy!
Happy/S. a. D. Day 16, dear friend! I hope you are having a good week way up north in Tennessee.
I didn’t know about, nor have I ever experienced this special song and video released by Pat and husband Neil in the wake of the 9-11 Terror Attacks. Surely it will stand the test of time as a classic. It can and will be played around this time every year, because every year brings with it more tragedy, loss and grief, such as that endured by the families of the little children slain 9 years ago this week in the Sandy Hook school massacre. As I might have told you a few weeks ago, around Thanksgiving my branch of the family suffered the loss of a loved one. I will miss her cheery holiday greeting cards and her annual phone call at Christmas. I will always remember her as a good, kind and decent person, someone with a great sense of humor and an easy laugh, a fine mother and homemaker, and a lifelong devoted friend to me and to my late father.
Thank you for posting this beautiful and touching song and video, dear friend Cathy. Enjoy your day and I hope to see you here again tamale!
