'Tis The Season: Gratitude, Christmas and Weather Changes

[Vexed]

 This time of year brings weather changes, holidays,

memories and mixed emotions. 

Post songs, videos or photos for the seasons or holidays.

Either meaningful or just plain fun.

No particular order. Don't worry about repeats.

Nat King Cole "The Christmas Song"

[LisaS961881]

     Coventry Carol      16th Century Traditional

         This haunting beautiful carol - a farewell to the Innocents - is never background music to me.  I must alway stop, remember, and reflect.

Merry Christmas, Ed Sheeran&Sir Elton

A sweet, wonderful collaboration 🎄

Snoopy’s Christmas, Royal Guardsmen

My husband, who passed in 2018, hated

Christmas music. But for some reason, he

loved this song. It was his fav. It’s taken years

for me to not cry everytime it comes on. In

memory of John 🎄💔

this is one of my favorite songs. when i was 8 i loved hearing it. i have it in my xmas collection

[LisaS961881]

     I love this song too!

     I always got such a kick out of Snoopy fantasizing that he was a World War I flying Ace sailing through the clouds on his Sopwith Camel….

  This is an original Christmas song, with great sentiment, from the Swing-Revival group "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy". I have listened to them for years. My favorite song of theirs is "Why Me?". (Check it out if ya want)

It Feels Like Christmas Time - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Christmas vacation, Mavis Staples

A great, fun song from the best Christmas

movie EVER…..

[LisaS961881]

     While hearing this song always brings forth a wistful mourning of childhood innocence from within me, it also serves as a plea for peace.

[m728242m]

All we need is love (Christmas in the yard)

Shaggy&the Big Yard Family

A simple, beautiful song from 2001 with a message

more in the world should listen to…..

[LisaS961881]

     While this is definitely not your typical “Ho-ho-ho and mistletoe” Winter song, after all these years, the lyrics, the video as well as the harmony continue to fascinate me.

[SereneSeagull]

Hadn’t heard that before.  I can see why you said that.  I just looked up the song and artists backstory for it. Yes, interesting.  Harmony was very cool

[BeatleloverKT]

Christmas (Baby please come home) U2

I like the original (And some may disagree

with me) But absolutely NO ONE comes even

close to singing it like BONO….

[BobH07]

I still prefer Darlene Love

[BeatleloverKT]

I know you do. It’s my #2 version. Both

are excellent tracks

[BeatleloverKT]

Mary, did you know? Kenny Rogers&Wynonna Judd

Just a gorgeous song that tells the true story of

Jesus

[DeborahG114321]

I love this song and one of my other favorites is the Christmas version of Leonard Cohen’s  

Hallelujah

[LisaS961881]

    Thank you so very much for sharing this!  I just listened, and it is exquisite! 

[SereneSeagull]

I’ve always loved that song.

 Christmas Spirit

No video or link to share.

No professional voices or musical backing.

Today, a small group of people came into the Chemo Room while we were there, (taking time out of their busy day) to sing Christmas carols to the patients, the loved ones that came with them and the nurses. It was beautiful. I cried.

[LisaS961881]

      What a heartfelt lovely gesture!  
      Having sat bedside too many times in a hospital, I have always found comfort in the many genuine acts of kindness that we received from the staff and volunteers.  Even while they were working long, stressful hours, I can attest that, when we needed it most, everyone was thoughtful and compassionate.

   I am so grateful that you were gifted with song today!

   Yes, Christmas Spirit isn’t really about jollity or superficial greetings, but about connecting with and caring for everyone we meet.

    Thank you for sharing this and reminding us all.

[Vexed]

 Thank you @LisaS961881 

[SereneSeagull]

That’s what it’s all about, right there!
