This Endris Night – Curious as a Cathy https://curiousasacathy.com Enjoying life through music, doodles, & pix Thu, 08 Dec 2022 11:06:48 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 65600115 Revealing This Endris Night Winner https://curiousasacathy.com/revealing-this-endris-night-winner/ https://curiousasacathy.com/revealing-this-endris-night-winner/#comments Thu, 08 Dec 2022 11:00:00 +0000 https://curiousasacathy.com/?p=58274 Continue reading Revealing This Endris Night Winner]]> The first BOTB all three contenders earned favor among my voters but one band or style resonated with my readers.  Let me cut to the chase, Irish Christmas took this battle to victory snatching Tom, Stephen, Sandee, Ellen, and Mary’s votes.  Lee and John preferred Log Cabin whereas Diedre, Mimi, and Brian liked Traditional Irish Christmas.  I like all three styles but had I put my two-cents into the pot then I would’ve gone  with “Log Cabin”.  

Let me close things with a full Irish Christmas playlist by The Orchard Enterprises (Alisa Jones · Mark Howard · John Mock · Stuart Duncan).

 

 

I was a bit puzzled when I put the first two contenders (Log Cabin and Irish Christmas) against each other because both arrangements featured some of the same musicians.  This battle was really more about style instead of the musicians it seems. 🙂  Oh well…it worked out okay.

Special thanks to everyone who chimed in to make this battle interesting.  It’s because of your involvement that makes doing this fun.  In my right side menu, you’ll see a list of my fellow BOTBers with their own outcomes to report.  Please stop by to see how theirs turned out.  

Next week, DH is off from work. I’m taking a short blogging hiatus to spend it with him, but I do have scheduled posts in cue beginning with Monday’s Music Moves Me. This month the party is 🎄all about Christmas/holiday music🎄. Swing by to enjoy the fun!  On Wednesday, it’s Visiting Christmases Past through old blog posts and then on Thursday, I have a second Christmas edition BOTB set.  

This is CAAC signing off, have a glorious holiday season.  May the Light of the World fill you from your head to your toes this day and every day after. God bless, my friend! X💋X💋, Cathy

The lyrics tell the conversation between a young baby Jesus and His mother.  Only two versions of the song lyrics have made over time and one can be heard in this version by Dan Fogelberg of This Endris Night!

 

You’ll find This Endris Night on Fogelberg’s 1999 First Christmas Morning album.

Don’t worry about commenting.  There’s no worries or fuss or strings attached, simply a moment for you to refresh your body and mind. 😉

I’ll be here with bells on tomorrow morning with another Christmas song to start your day.  Allow yourself time to enjoy the last few days of the holidays without anymore fuss.  Reflect on the beauty of the season with your favorite hot beverage and think about the wonderful things to come in the new year.  X💋X💋, Cathy
