There are several moments every year that I long for:
the first cold morning of the year
&
the first Christmas song on the radio
The first breath of crisp, cold air is refreshing. It marks the beginning of a season known for family laughter, over-eating and warming your hands with a hot beverage. It means cozy sweaters, soft scarves and stylish boots. It means that it is time to bring out the fuzzy socks and the Snuggy.
Last week, Josh asked if I wanted the new Glee Christmas album. But alas, it was too early. Although, today on my commute home, in a moment of solitude, I turned on KEZ to their Christmas music and savored a moment with Hark! The Herald Angel Sings.
Christmas music and its recognizable melodies and lyrics about peace and hope make me SO HAPPY!!! It is delightful caffeine for my soul. Just like the first cold morning, Christmas music signals the beginning of fires in fire places, hugs from grandparents and decking the halls!
I love this time of year!
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale
