It's almost here. The scramble to get everything to have that perfect Christmas. Your grandmother is complaining that she couldn't be bothered with all the hassle of shopping. Yet, still at the last minute she's all caught out and says,"It's only because of my little grandbabies." Dad asks,"What's the fuss?" But sharpens his appetite on Christmas day. Grinch says," Not a penny!" Oh, but he runs and hides when he sees the flood of shoppers and kids beaming with their toys in hand. Santa promises to go on a diet every year as he pats his tummy. Oh wee, Mrs Claus has cooked up a storm and he gives up. The energy is there, the lights are blinking, the days, are shortening. Christmas is coming.
See you next week!

All About the Music

12/4/2023

Tis the season. Ho, ho, ho. Jolly, molly. A bright shining star. Shoppers. Peace on earth. Perhaps the last phrase is the most important of all. Where there are wars, we all wish for peace. Where there is hunger, we wish there is enough food for all. Tis the season where most of us do something to address the burning issues that face mankind all over the world .
The song that more than most that epitomizes all the above, is the Christmas song made popular by Stevie Wonder.

Someday at Christmas.

Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth

Someday all ours dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears
When all men are equal and none have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas, men will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at christmas time
