Christmas Music!

As of now, I am enjoying some trans-siberian orchestra Christmas music. The flood of memorizes are staggering. 16 Christmases in my life. All filled with comforts. Filled with food. Oh the smells. Filled with family and friends, travel, presents. All in the atmosphere of Christmas music.

I feel that they are the easiest songs to sing too. Relate too. Perhaps it was the beautiful inspiration of the Christ that produced such simple yet majestic chords. They hit a string deep inside you, something not normally touched upon. Imposible to describe with words, because words aren't deep enough. You can't dig to the center of the earth with a shovel, nor can you dig into a soul with runes.

If you reside in Albert Lea, then you know that we recieve some white cold stuff today. Its also known as snow. I am excited! Looking out my window to see the pure white and black contrast of snow and tree branches. To see the snow and the still open lake. Brrrrr.

But how warm I am! Sitting by my heater, listening to my christmas jingles, I already feel the holiday induced mirth. Some might think this pre-Thanksgiving Christmas anticipation a bit extreme, well hey what can I say? It's fun, so Im going to do it.

Sadly the snow will melt, trees will be deadened with the harsh wind we faced today, and the moment to savor a bit of Christmas will pass.

Thank God humans have the ability to think on the past. It might be a curse for some. For me its a blessing. It triggers joy in antisipation for what might happen agian.
