Music For The Holidays...

I'm assuming everybody else has already heard the George Strait song called "Christmas Cookies." I heard it for the first time on the radio while driving to my brother's yesterday & didn't know who was singing. Thought it was some real old song. But it turns out he recorded it in 1999. Looked it up on YouTube when I got home. It's pretty cute!

The Pogues:

Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.

This is one of my favorite scenes in "The Bishop's Wife." The hymn is truly heavenly!



PS: It is the MITCHELL Boychoir.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Pure jazz and some little old reggae music
