On the eve of winter’s official start we are close to winding up this year of fear, inspiration, anger, humour, hate, generosity, death, innovation, uncertainty, creativity, loss, community, frustration, patience, illness, and recovery. We are close to having COVID-19 vaccines in numbers that will make a difference.
But if we shouldn’t live in the past, neither can we live in the future. Right now, let it be Christmas.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere
Let us tell a story of hope and joy and peace. Let us tell it by living it.
I didn’t know Alan Jackson. Thank you. I’ve passed this on to a few friends. Again, thank you.

Jim T – Glad you enjoyed it. I find him easy to listen to: He never seems to be working. On a non-Christmasy note, I also really like “When Daddy Let Me Drive.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQe3DKDQRRs&list=PLwJnZgOqUGW2YMZ7uejQXY1aV4GjQVocg&index=17&t=0s

I love the line: “Let us tell a story of hope and joy and peace. Let us tell it by living it.”
Living it is the key.

Tom – Many thanks. Living it is, indeed, the key.
Easy listening, indeed. But the video in “When Daddy Let Me Drive” is a work of art. How it brings back memories of my father’s teaching in so many ways — including the canoes, boats, and cars!
Laurna – Glad you liked it. I pass this song along to fathers (especially) whenever I see an opportunity.
“When Daddy Let Me Drive†brings back memories from both sides now.
Barry – Lovely.
