How Do You Feel About Christmas

Has it become more about selling than celebrating?

From the lens Jingle Maria.

I know that the Christmas I had as a child was capable of lifting me out of quite a serious case of S.A.D. It wasn't the presents, the food or even the holiday so much as the family warmth, the belief that through Jesus birth all would be well and that magical story we all know so well. A Christmas of Innocense. If that sounds trite, I am sad, but Maria was me and I hope that there will be many, many Marias to come....

Do you agree?

    Well, I surely do love happy Christmas jingles ... and I was just thinking about hearing Christmas songs on the radio well before Thanksgiving ... and I didn't like that very much ... you are right! It is too much about sell, sell, sell, and not enough about celebrating the true spirit of Christmas. It's gotten lost some how / some where!

    This song is incredibly beautiful and I could see it taking off as a Christmas classic. Your voice is gorgeous too. Loved hearing the background of the creation of this song.

    What a wonderful talent--song writing! I love all kinds of Christmas music, but sometimes the radio stations overdo it--beginning to play songs the day after Halloween.
