It's That Time of Year!

Dear Reader,



It is that time of year. Everyone seems to fall in love. Every song you hear seems to say, "Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true." This year that is the case. This year I have been focusing a lot more on why we celebrate Christmas. The video above shares that. I just have to add my testimony to what has been shared. I know that Christ was born with a specific purpose. He was born to perform the Atonement. The night of His birth was a very significant day for the entire world and I am glad we have the time to spend with our families and remember what He has done for us.

Tonight I wanted to make a list of songs commemorating Christmas. They are linked to a favorite arrangement for each song on Youtube. The intent was to have as many different artists as possible. If you have any you would like to add, just let me know through your comments or emails. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!


  1. "Mary Did You Know?" 
  2. "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
  3. "The First Noel"
  4. "Angels We Have Heard On High"
  5. "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"
  6. "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing"
  7. "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen"
  8. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"
  9. "O Holy Night"
  10. "Silent Night"
  11. "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"
  12. "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem"
  13. "Away in a Manger"
  14. "Homeless"
  15. "Let Him In"
  16. "Joy to the World"
  17. "We Three Kings"

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
