Song #10 - The Christmas Song

December 10
Song #10

"The Christmas Song"
sung by Nat King Cole

There is just something about the way this song begins that makes me feel all warm inside! As soon as it starts, I instantly want to be next to a fire, roasting chestnuts. Well, not exactly. Can't say that I've ever eaten a chestnut (should probably remedy that). But I do love an open fire! I don't know, maybe it's the pace of the song. Even though there are still a million things I feel I need to do before Christmas, it makes me feel like I can slow down - even if it's only for a few minutes! But this song also reminds me that a rest is just around the corner. (Six more days of school until winter break! I can do it!!) Not only that, but it captures some of the magic of Christmas, don't you think? Hey, I still know that getting to bed early on Christmas Eve is important so that Santa can come!

"Although it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!"

If you need a mini-break, just listen to Nat King Cole sing this song and allow yourself to slow down, even if just for the three minutes and 11 seconds. Ahh.
