For many of us, the ultimate Christmas movie is Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life from 1946. Its affirmation of the triumph of good over evil must have been a tonic in those uncertain days after the war which had shaken the West to its foundations. The uplifting final scene with the soundtrack of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is a guaranteed tearjerker.

Merry Christmas 3
I love Christmas time – for the music, the story, the food, family and friends.
Ave Maria is one of Schubert’s most popular works. Beyond the song as originally composed by Schubert, it is often performed and recorded by many singers under the title “Ave Maria” (the Latin name of the prayer Hail Mary, and also the opening words and refrain of Ellen’s song, a song which is itself a prayer to the Virgin Mary), in musically simplified arrangements and with various lyrics that commonly differ from the original context of the poem. It was arranged in three versions for piano by Franz Liszt.[1]
Enjoy this.
Merry Christmas
To all.
Remember that God is in control. Believe in that and have faith then all of your worries and anxieties will fade away:
No matter the version this has to be one of my favorite Christmas songs.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Have an un-anxious New Year. Get out there and enjoy nature. Go for a walk.
I never heard this song before:
One of my favourites:
Merry Christmas. Read ya in the New Year.
Second Sunday Of Advent
Today is the second Sunday of Advent. Light that second candle and view its rays of hope, and redemption.
After a chaotic year, there is comfort to be found when we pause to read, pray, and reflect over the course of the Advent season…a time when believers eagerly anticipate the celebration of Christ’s birth. Become a believer.
The second Sunday of Advent gives us the opportunity to prepare our hearts in faithful waiting, celebrate the birth of Jesus, and ready ourselves for his second coming. He is coming but the time and the day know one knows, except the Father.
It’s a beautiful chance to reflect on the ways prophecy has been fulfilled and to ponder what the future (promised to us through prophecies) will bring.
Never worry as God is in control of all things:
Love this time of year. It is my favorite.
Another beautiful song.
Bless everyone.
