my Christmas card moment - a photo on Flickriver

my Christmas card moment

            one of my favorite times of the holiday is Christmas evening, after the kids have all gone home and I've straightened things up.
Larry lights the fireplace and breaks out his collection of Christmas records. 
One of Larry's big hobbies is his stereo. He has an extensive collection of vinyl, including a huge selection of Christmas music. Yep....he could probably find you at least 50 different versions of "White Christmas" or "Silent Night" easy! 
I love Christmas music.
There! I said it!
I   agree, there should be rules. NO Christmas music BEFORE Thanksgiving, and you must cut it off the day after Christmas. But that month in between? YES! BRING IT! 
I'm that person that has the all Christmas all the time radio station going in the car.
I sing to the music on the loudspeakers in the stores, and have been known to dance up and down the aisles when "Rockin' Around the Christmas tree" comes on! 
"Oh, Holy Night" by Nat King Cole, and "Mary Did You Know" by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd makes me cry everytime.
I grew up in a family that liked to sing. Gathering around the piano during the holidays was "a thing". 
Even if I'm only caroling by myself these days, I still lift my voice in celebration at Christmas time!
