My feelings about the holidays vary year to year. This year I made a commitment to embrace all that I love about the season instead of bemoaning the things I don’t.
I love holiday music. I remember my first Christmas concert performance. My fourth grade choir had little white cotton smocks with huge red bows on the front. That was the year I sang the lead for “O Holy Night”. I will never forget our Hummel-like mouths singing “OOOOOOOO Ho-o-o-ly Night”.
