We get lost with the wonderful lights and decorations, the hustle and bustle, the shallow exchange of recycled gifts.
I feel bad about it, too.
But whenever I hear Christmas music, the Carol of the Bells, the jingling and giddy-yap of all merry a gentlemen come ships a sailing, a drummer boy drumming, all on a quiet, silent night, one holy night, for a Babe born in a little town of Bethlehem, oh, I do feel all warm and wonderful,
Today, though, my daughter sang and played on the piano Hallelujah, Hmmm. Pretty intense. And how mind-boggling on a Christmas Day.
Then she played "I wanna build a snowman" and said it's on Disney's Christmas playlist. Okay.
Nothing to this post Just enjoying the Christmas music.

We play a lot of Christmas music while preparing the food for Christmas. It helps set the mood.

Me, too. Brings a lot of thoughts, memories good and bad, and a lot of emotions 
all mixes up. Usually ends up making me feel mushy.

I feel the same way. I love hearing Carol Of The Bells in particular as it transports me to a magical world. I often imagine myself inside the beautiful scenes on some Christmas cards when I hear festive music and it takes me away from all of the noise, bustle and craziness of Christmas.

Same sentiment here. I do wish that Christmas goes back to what it really is, giving oneself instead of the exaggerated exchange gifts in lavish and shallow shindigs. I wouldn't want to scrooge any body's Christmas though, and I allow people to celebrate.
But yes, mine is the music and my own private and personal thoughts about our Savior's birthing one cold night twenty thousand and sixteen years ago. I'd like to be one of the shepherds so blessed to have seen the Babe on that holy night,
