The dreaded holiday music post

Note: I have had this post up for editing for the past two weeks. This has been an especially difficult season for me for several reasons. I have decided not to finish it and it is my desire to start blogging again soon once this depression lifts.

I hope that this post finds my readers living their best lives, celebrating whatever you celebrate, and listening to a lot of holiday music!

When I was a child, it seemed like holiday music was something we all enjoyed, but perhaps I am looking at things through rose-colored glasses. I do remember my grandmother sitting down at her organ, getting her songbooks out and everyone singing along. My father also carried on this tradition. Even though I wasn’t brought up in the church, I attended Christmas Eve services and have fond memories of learning all of the hymns. My mother’s favorite was, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Traditionally sung during Advent, this hymn became one of my favorites, too.
