I've been playing Annie Lennox Christmas cd she brought out last year, it's called A Christmas Cornucopia, and is an eclectic mix of old seasonal songs.<br />Hope your life is filled with seasonal cheer soon :D XXXGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814694362956456055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451952027070546133.post-82644055338039893192011-12-10T16:06:19.386-06:002011-12-10T16:06:19.386-06:00Hi Donna, I'm with you; had to put up some dec...Hi Donna, I'm with you; had to put up some decorations in the house today. Jim and I were saying that Christmas when the kids were little were some of the best times as well as when we were children waiting for St. Nick to bring a surprise or two. Memories make life more bearable especially when we aren't feeling at one hundred percent.<br /><br />Sorry you lost your holiday music leaving you with a new project to find replacements which will help pass the time until you feel a lot better.<br /><br />I hope you are able to get out again tomorrow just to say hello to those you pass on the street and to feel the joy of the season.<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />Big Bear Hugs,<br /><br />CCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314949745987771149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451952027070546133.post-5402766748453388092011-12-10T13:20:36.694-06:002011-12-10T13:20:36.694-06:00Donna, I can totally understand what you are sayin...Donna, I can totally understand what you are saying.... you gave up a lot to move so far from familiar territory and start a new life! It's been wonderful in so many ways, but the past creeps up from time to time and the holidays are a very vulnerable time for that. I love that you are moving forward and creating your own holiday spirit!! <br /><br />As far as music, I have a mixed playlist that contains holiday selections from artists I like anyway, like Enya and Nicholas Gunn. Pretty much every musician now has their holiday album it seems!<br /><br />Hang in there - hope all these happy messages help to make you feel a little better!!pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994187495930211144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451952027070546133.post-25064674983363879852011-12-09T18:54:53.973-06:002011-12-09T18:54:53.973-06:00Love the quote, and your lights and arrangement ar...Love the quote, and your lights and arrangement are so very pleasing. The red cranes will had a lovely bright spot. Christmas music... I just read recently that Manheim Steamroller has the most popular Christmas titles. I need to look into getting one myself.

I would definitely concentrate on what makes you feel good right now!<br /><br />As for christmas music, this website might help: <a href="http://www.christmassongs.org/" rel="nofollow">christmas songs.org</a>. I just took a quick peek and under traditional somgs heard Elvis Presly singing blue christmas via a You Tube video!

I too yearn for Christmases gone by never to return our memories I believe are our most treasured possessions and we are lucky that we at least have good times to remember. I love your lovely Christmas scene all sparkly and bright.
