I love the music! Music is the quickest way to reach the heart. It helps people feel all the feelings that come with this season: joy, excitement, nostalgia, hopeful, even sometimes a bit of the blues. Music puts all those feelings into words for us. I love playing the piano for sing-alongs, singing hymns in church, singing with my grandchildren, etc. And the songs remind us why we have Christmas in the first place. “What Child is This?”
Usually it's time with family and still is but my mom just passed away so this is a. tough one. Will try to have gratitude.
I like making crafts and just enjoying this time of the year. I also like to go to the mall and sit and people watch.
