Jami Drops By, Again

Another week gone and no posts from me. Ah, my dear friends, I do apologize. Since the first week of November I feel like I've been stuck in a hamster ball heading down that crooked road in San Fransisco. You know the one. And if you don't, Google it. I told the Husband that we aren't accepting any invitations for January for anything. I might not even get out of bed until my first MOPS meeting. I need the world to pause for a minute, so I can catch my breath. Here I am deliberately ignoring a pile of gifts begging to be wrapped because I haven't read my friends' blogs in a week or so. EDW and Patrick both posted about their fav Christmas songs. It's a hard one for me, because I do love me some good Christmas music. Shocking as it is for me to disagree with the always cool EDW, I have to admit to despising Santa Baby. Ugh, ick and blah. Pouty selfish harlot sexily implores Santa to give her ridiculously large gifts? Nope. Can't deal. Winter Wonderland - again, no. Too insipid to even get into. I love the classic Christmas Carols. I love them sung in 3 or 4 part harmony, or just with a guitar. Point of Grace does an incredible version of O Holy Night. Third Day has a great Do You Hear What I Hear? Here is a link to "This Christmas" a song, by Toby Mac that I can't listen to without getting teary. And it's not even slow. In a fit of insanity, I decided to sing Breath of Heaven on Christmas Eve. It's a great song, and I found a version low enough for this alto to hit all the notes. I'm so nervous about it I'm considering pulling the fire alarm before my part so that everyone runs out of the church before I start singing. I only tell you this because I assume most of you are either family/friends who will be there anyway or live too far away to decide to pop in and watch me sing an entire song with my eyes closed so that I can pretend you're not there. What was I thinking??? Sigh.
