december views, sounds of the season 
today, LK is hosting another day of sharing...this time the theme is song. even if i wasn't sharing holiday tunes right now, i would probably pick "have yourself a merry little christmas." it is such a simple, beautiful song. i listen to james taylor's version all year long. it makes me cry as i miss and wish and hope and believe. this version, however, always takes my breath away.

did johnny mathis sing in your home when you were a kid? i can hear those records drop on that old extremely large record player that was outside my bedroom. i can hear those records drop and then at some point this song would come on and i would find myself dancing a bit and peeking down the stairs to see the corner of the tree in the living room. i bet i was hoping for a cabbage patch kid...
(i have decided to post my december views posts by themselves toward the end of the day, and my "sounds of the season," gift ideas, and other wordy posts at other times. at somepoint in the wee hours of the morning while i was sewing away, i had this realization that i could do whatever i want. so look for december views later today.)
