Updates & Favorite Christmas Songs!
Wednesday, December 16, 2009My friend Jill's grandfather passed away this afternoon. She wrote a beautiful post about him on her blog. I want to thank those of you that prayed for her family & left comments on her blog. I know those thoughts and prayers mean so much to them. Jill is a very dear friend, so it means a lot to me, too. Thank you.
I was also a little delayed today. I spent the entire day in a lot of pain, convinced that I had a terrible eye infection or something worse. I woke up and felt like someone punched me in the face. Turns out there was an eyelash in there {under my eyelid}. Has this happened to anyone else?
I added some new {photo} wallpapers for my freebie page. I am using the pink ornament right now.
I am a little obsessed with Christmas music. I have two playlists in iTunes {Christmas Music & Classic Christmas Music}. I only have 113 songs in total, which doesn't seem too extreme to me. Anyway, I wanted to share the songs I have been enjoying the most this year. It should be noted that I especially love all the classics {Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis etc...}.
I cannot get enough of the following songs -
God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen & O Holy Night by MercyMe
I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day by Casting Crowns
Winter Song by Sara Bareilles
Winter Wonderland & All Alone on Christmas by Darlene Love
Sleigh Ride by the Ronettes
So tell me. What are your favorites?

I am so sorry for your friends loss. I was praying for a better outcome here on earth, but I guess being home with the Savior is the best outcome he could ask for. I pray that God's peace and comfort washes over Jill and her family during this time of loss.

I like "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" and "Welcome to Our World" - from Merry Chris Rice album - acoustic and very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving Hark the Hearld Angels Sing by Carrie Underwood

ReplyDeleteOh Danielle, I just saw what happened to Jill's grandpa. How's she doing? Is there anything I can do to help? We're lifting her and her family up in prayer here in Indy.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your friends grandpop! The Circle of Life can be joyous and down right heart wrenching. I will continue my prayers for your friend.
