Such A Little Thing Makes A Big Difference

          With Christmas just about on top of us (Happy Festivus!), I could easily write about my views on the gross commercialism of the holiday and how it destroys the heart of it. But I won't be doing that with this article. Although I do have strong opinions on such things, there are so many people in the blog-o-sphere and around the web that have done so already, many with the same thoughts as myself. I'll leave it to them, whomever they may be, to voice that part for me this year.

          For this week's article, I will be relaying something that happened in my world yesterday and the thought processes it got me going on. It was a reminder to me about not only how important my role is as a mother, but it's also something that can remind us all that, often times, it's those little things that truly matter to those we love and care about.

Grab a cuppa and take a read. :-)

Songs From The Spiral #2

And here it is...


The second installment of the weekly feature, Songs From The Spiral...

          This week's a capella offering is of one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever. Now, before you start groaning, hear me out. It's not of a hymn or a carol, and it's not a novelty song, either (although I am considering posting one tomorrow -- Can't a girl have a little fun now and then? Sheesh! *grin*). But it is a truly lovely song that's a classic in my eyes, and maybe, deep down, you love it, too.

          Christmas song or not, the melody and the music alone are beautiful and I hope that I do it justice. I'm unsure that I can really compare to the original singer, though, so I did it my own way. :-) This song is one of the very few Christmas songs that I feel confident 'releasing' in this manner and I really wanted to do it as I love it so. I hope you like the result! Please click the following link to listen.
