The Spirit of Christmas

“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas time.”
~Laura Ingalls Wilder

These songs will, I sincerely hope, ignite the spirit of Christmas in your heart.

    This morning was very thought provoking. I never thought of From A Distance as a Christmas song. I have always loved that song.

    OMG Ray what a way to start I swear I can hear the angles sing this is one of my all time favorite and to hear Harry sing is what an angel would sound like!! And John did this with such grace!! And good will to men and again the angels are singing peace on earth oh how I wish!! And from a distance the voice of hope and all is bright and calm and God is watching!! A song of joy!! From a distance Ray you are bringing joy to the world!! And what a way to end this medley!! Just fantastic!! Love ya!! (Had to play Harry one more time)

    Ray, you did it again! Sometimes I feel like these are just tailor-made to this audience of yours who loves you. So I loved Bette Midler, and I was especially happy to hear the Trans-Siberian Orchestra yet again. But I was also just mesmerized listening to Josh Groban, John Denver and harry Bellafonte. This was so well-rounded and so peaceful and calm selections were superb. Thank you so much again for putting together this great Christmas Medley.
