I'm Ready For Christmas
 

...well, not really. None of the decor is up. No presents bought. Yeah, yeah, I know. Thanksgiving hasn't even come, let alone Halloween.

It's all about the music. It knows no season...

I saw Michael Buble's clip on Facebook of a new Christmas song coming out Oct 24th and listened to it. His version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is so great, IMO. I mean, anything with a black choir or chorale in the background is my kind of music (among many others).

From there, I started searching YouTube for other vids and posted them too.

Merry Christmas...

I do enjoy most christmas music, just gets you in the "happy happy" mood.

I like "Walk through Bethlehem"

I like Christmas day. it's very peacefull, everyone is with their families, most of the stores are closed.

My sister just put up her tree and we are having a special day the 29 th of Oct. She felt to buy gifts for the poor children we work with in Brazil. my sisters are Baptist but they have always prayed for the work in Brazil. I am blessed because my sisters love and respect what I do. I heard a preacher say not long ago his siblings would not walk across the street to hear him preach. I am blessed.

Re: I'm Ready For Christmas
 

Exactly!

I found myself quite surprised at one video I came across, one with my favorite song, O Holy Night. It was done by the Glee Cast. And let me tell you, I was speechless. It's a beautiful song, period. But, the Glee folks took it to another level for me.

So sad how so many people's first reaction to "Christmas" is negative. Honestly, IMO, if that's the first thing out of their mouth, Jesus must be the last thing they think about.

When I think of Christmas, my mind takes me to the midwest or northeast, strolling down a sidewalk with snow all on the ground and Christmas decor (spiritual and commercial) strewn everywhere, watching people pull up to their relatives' house and carry food inside.

It definitely is a beautiful time of year, regardless of location...

Re: I'm Ready For Christmas
 

O Holy Night by Third Day is my favorite version, besides my daughter's.

Very nice! You are definitely blessed. My retired pastor at church, his wife leaves her tree up all year 'round and calls it her celebration tree (I think that's what she calls it). It's about 15' tall and is decorated according to the season of the year. Sure beats taking it down as tall as it is and with how much work goes into it...

Re: I'm Ready For Christmas
 

Well, you've sure given me something else to look up! Also curious to know how your daughter sings it...
