For awhile there I’ d hear sleigh bells on TV commercials that were advertising Christmas sales and I thought…wait a minute what happened to Halloween? Did I miss Thanksgiving? WTF?
But today I was sitting here and it occured to me that Winter is coming…and I said to myself
It was just before Christmas when I heard the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the first time.
My Mom had told me about a video for a Christmas Song and how it was about a little girl and her kitten who escape into a snowstorm take over an Orchestra in the woods and how even though you saw all these images about how the world was a conflicted place, for that one night the girl, her cat and her Orchestra win.
I wasn’t sure what she meant.
And then my Mom said, ” it reminded me of your stories Marie. “
Thanks Mom.
For Getting It.

CHRISTMAS EVE/SARAJEVO 12/24
(Instrumental)
As He flew over the countryside
He was still listening
When from a little church below
He heard a voice begin to sing
Christmas Canon
THIS NIGHT
WE PRAY
OUR LIVES WILL SHOW
THIS DREAM HE HAD
EACH CHILD
STILL KNOWS
WE ARE WAITING
WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN
ON THIS NIGHT
ON THIS NIGHT
ON THIS NIGHT
ON THIS VERY CHRISTMAS NIGHT
