Having a bit of trouble getting into the Christmas Groove? No problem, you don't have to put up 3 trees, you don't have to string a lighted garland all the way across your roof-line or bake 700 cookies.. Really, you don't! I am not going to this year, I am taking it easy and doing it simple. Relax for 5 minutes with this video; it just makes you feel joyous!
There, wasn't that nice?!
Hopalong Hollow....
Hopalong Hollow, where the Blueberries grow sweet, and the moss feels soft beneath your feet.
Nice, so joyful.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Christmas dear Jeri, with your dear hubby and you family of critters.

Thank you, thank you! What a joy that was to my ears and my heart.. I love watching the expressions on the people gathering. Happiness and wonderment everywhere. The music was just delightful Jeri, thank you so much... You made my evening.

Oh Jeri,love that. I was greeted by a children's impromptu violin concert at the local Whole Foods today. I am cutting back this year too, though not nearly enough, it's a start. Best wishes for your holidays.
ReplyDeletelucky you! I would love to experience such a thing..I am crazy for musical and dancing flashmobs
DeleteGood morning my friend.
ReplyDeleteYes...to make harmony, not war. To make art, not destructive expressions of hate. To make music, to dance and sing. I think this is what we were meant to do as well as all the other "duties" we need to fulfill in life. But loving expression is a lost art of the human soul. Oh how this got me ready to face Monday morning! LOVE!!!! Anita
Awesome way to start the work week. Thanks so much and I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Absolutely amazing and thank you so much for sharing that piece of joy...just what I needed. God Bless you.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing that - that video and the Sound of Music one at the train station are my 2 favorites!
ReplyDeleteSUZ, I love that one as well! I really debated on which one to post. DO RE MI!!
DeleteJERI LANDERS!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I told Irina about her win! She is thrilled and will probably contact you soon.
Secondly, I could not help but think of YOU the entire time I was working on my new post because of the animals, especially of that darling little donkey in the first picture. All I could think of was Jemima and also Penny's creation! teeehehehe I love their ears; they remind me of coconuts when you open them up....see my crazy view of things?
Dearest Jeri, I wish you peace and overwhelming joy as you celebrate with those who were " among the first to be there."
Anita
When I saw those donkeys I saw my sweet ladies too! Identical faces. You love their ears? I love their muzzles and their funny upper lip, which looks like a camel. They are soooo soft.
