Singing is good for your health. It releases endorphins, prolongs your life. I believe it. I am wondering about our singing at Wayne's funeral. I don't think we would have not thought to do so. Perhaps it helped our hearts then when we were so sad.
And I love the music of Christmas. Don't you?
We used to go caroling on Christmas Eve, then come home and have chili and hot chocolate. We would always sing Far, Far Away On Judea's Plains because we had nine people to make the harmony sound full. And we'd often sing Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. Maybe Jingle Bells, too, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. And I see that I wrote of this last December. Well, I may mention it next year, too.
At home we sang along with Anita Kerr and Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby. And Christmas In the Stars will always be a favorite for us. What can you get a Wookie for Christmas anyway? He already has a comb. Who has that, by the way, in its entirety? I think Richard. Anyone else?
I will always like to believe our Christmas caroling and other singing was good for all of us, the health of our bodies and minds and souls. May we live long and happy.
I would like to do it again. The caroling with my family.
