Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!!!

The presents are bought and wrapped. The halls are decked. The stuffing is cooking in the oven, filling the house with a wonderful smell. There's a new dusting of snow outside to cover up all the yucky stuff left over from the rain yesterday. Ds is watching Christmas shows on tv (right now it's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer -one of my personal favorites!) Ready or not, both physically and mentally ... Christmas Eve is here, it's arrived as it does every year; although every year differs from the previous one, there is always a common thread ... this year for me, it was listening to traditional Christmas carols, especially the ones my mother used to love to sing. Here's one of my favorites - a carol by Judy Garland to bid you all a very merry Christmas ...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a
merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our
troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy
golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to
us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the
Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have
yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas ... may all your wishes come true.
