Between you and me, I’m having a little trouble getting into the Christmas Spirit this year, for some reason… I don’t know why. I’m loving all the Christmas themes going around, and the lights that are everywhere… maybe a little too everywhere, but ignore me – they still look nice.
Maybe it’s the weather… it’s like almost sub-tropical out there – not Christmassy at all. Even the plants are confused now, as Elaine points out in her Friday Letters.
Jo is helping me to get into the Christmas mood as she’s busy finding different versions of ‘Little Drummer Boy’. Her latest offering is here, but also check out her very first offering, which I think is my favourite version of all time.
I’m revisiting old posts, looking into the past for some festive fun. Here’s a trip down memory lane:
With
Silent Night
playing gently in
the background, I sit and think.
Back to yesteryear when I was young.
Back to yesteryear when I saw the magic in everything
Back to yesteryear when all of the days were long.
Back to yesteryear when I’d feel excited about almost anything.
Back to yesteryear when I’d sit and think with Silent Night playing gently in the
background.
Feeling excited.
Feeling the magic.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
There. I’m feeling a little more Christmassy now. Just a little. There’s still a week to go, so maybe the full magic will appear then. Tomorrow, I’m doing the last shop before the last-minute shop before Christmas. That should fill me with the joys of the festive season… deep breath… I’m going in!
