This catchy tune, by Canadian songwriter and musician Serena Ryder, is one of my new favourite Christmas songs. The video will melt your heart!
Don’t forget your four-legged friends this holiday season, and those still waiting for their forever homes. Please donate to your local animal shelter and rescue centres.
Shortly before Christmas, I watched the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” about the career and legacy of Fred Rogers. He was an extraordinary individual with a beautiful outlook on life. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something,
you’re at the beginning of something else.”
Fred Rogers (b. March 20, 1928 – d. February 27, 2003)
Johann Pachelbel (b. 1653 – d. 1706)
Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Little is known about the circumstances behind the composition. Here, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra gives it a Christmas twist.
Merry Christmas
and
all the best to everyone in 2019!
Loreena McKennitt is a gifted Canadian singer, songwriter, and musician. She released this song for Remembrance Day 2017.
I hope everyone takes a moment to observe a minute of silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November).
I knew that I just didn’t have it in me to give up, even if I sometimes felt like a fool for continuing to believe.”
Misty Copeland (b. September 10, 1982)
This 2013 John Lewis Christmas advert has a lovely, simple message.
With all the ugliness and the crazy politics in the world today, it seems appropriate.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
Amy MacDonald, a Scottish singer-songwriter, and the German Philharmonic Orchestra perform a beautiful version of Bruce Springsteen’s, “Dancing in the Dark.”
Enjoy!
