Good Morning & Merry Christmas to my ATRW friends.
My favorite Christmas song, besides 'Santa and His Old Lady' by Cheech and Chong; I wish I could provide the actual audio, because I adore Amy Grant, and this is one of her best and most moving songs:
GROWN-UP CHRISTMAS LIST
(Foster / Thompson / Jenner)
Amy Grant - 1992
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now,
But still need help somehow.
I'm not a chile but my heart still can dream.
So here's my lifelong wish,
My grown-up christmas list,
Not for myself, but for a world in need:
No more lives torn apart,
And wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list...
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneash the tree.
Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul.
No more lives torn apart,
And wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list...
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth!
There'd be...
No more lives torn apart,
And wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list,
This is my only lifelong wish,
This is my Grown-up Christmas List!
After a night of thinking I was not in control, I find that this morning, I do have control.
Turkey..stuffed in oven..veggies in cold water...and soon I'll be making the cabbage salad.
Why I worry... I have no idea.
Sarah went overboard on us this year....really! Arriving this Thursday is a radiant, self-cleaning, freestanding range ..plus she gave us $$$.00 Home Depot gift cards to finish the basement...with instruction to her dad..no new tools....just construction material, LOL
