Day 3: S.a.D. I Remember Christmas

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.

Yesterday I shared a song in recent years with a throwback style.   Today, I’m actually pulling an oldie off the YouTube shelf by The Drifters.   I was way too young when the single came out in 1964 on the B side of The Christmas Song.  This is the first time the tune crossed my ears, I Remember Christmas!

This time of year, it’s not uncommon for me to think about my childhood Christmases.  That was such a sweet,special time.  Life was simple.  I had no cares of the world, just the love and comfort found in my parents’ home.  My folks didn’t have a lot but that was alright.  What ever I got made me happy or if I got nothing at all I was still happy and there were some Christmases just like that.  I knew somehow there was more to it then getting a new dolly or something shiny.  Where ever Christ is, Christmas is always near the heart.

I’m sneaking in this week’s Friendly Fill-ins hosted by Ellen and Lorraine.

1. My favorite holiday film is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. We have yet to watch this but hope to get a chance this weekend.
 
2. My favorite Christmas song is  this is a tough one but I think I would have to say, “Silent Night”The story of Jesus’ birth gives me the goosies!
 
3. If you ask me, ’tis the season for miraclesJust like the miracle of Jesus’ birth, I think during this holy season anything is possible.  Miracles are often the small things we may not see as such but every miracle big or small deserves recognition.
 
4. Santa walking right into our house is a holiday memory I’ll never forget.  I was between 8-10 years of age.  I think by that time I knew there wasn’t really a “Santa” but the magic of it all maybe me forget that I didn’t believe in Santa anymore. lol

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 or 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
