This morning I played bells at church, and got to take part in one of my all-time favorite things to do at Christmas time...and that is singing Christmas Carols. This morning we got to sing Joy to the World, Oh come all ye Faithful and Away in a Manger. Now the kicker for me is that I prefer all of these Christmas Carols at church singing to my little heart's content. Now one of the odd things, is that you will not see me playing Christmas music on the radio in the car or in my home. I much prefer singing it the way I'm use to with the piano or organ at church, and not the way some artist has decided to sing it. Which is their right, and that doesn't make it a bad song, they are great singers and songs. I just don't enjoy singing to them like I do at church. You might say...well let them sing it, you don't need to. But a flaw I have is that I sing with all songs I know, whether that is country, rap, pop, or church hymns. Thus singing along is the way I listen to music. Weirdo...yes, I accept, but I'm ok with that. I love singing.
This does, however, create a problem when the only places I can hear my songs are at Church and that is only once a week during the 4-5 weeks leading up to Christmas. Sad, so I make the best of it when I can! Yay Christmas!
I hope you enjoy your Christmas songs, wherever you may listen to them.
Much love!
