Music is my Therapy

Song: I Cry the Day I Take the Tree Down Artist: From Michael McLean's, The Forgotten Carols HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE !! I honestly can't believe it's the very last day of 2017! The years truly are going by faster and it's terrifying!! I can remember the beginning of this year so well. The middle is all a jumbled blur. I'm scared for a new year to begin. I'm also excited. I love having a fresh start. I love setting goals and resolutions and feeling determined and ready to take on the year and make something of myself. But I'm also terrified of failing again. Of coming up short. Being lazy. Procrastinating. And most of all, letting me fear win. My fears, doubts, anxieties and worries always end up winning in the end. They have been for the past 7 years!! I hope to come out victorious this year! To beat my deamons and send them to the dark abyss where they belong. I want to make changes and move forward and excel and ultimately just be happy with who I am. T...

Song: Silver Bells Artist: Goo Goo Dolls Couldn't believe this when I saw it pop up on my youtube feed!! And they actually do a really fantastic job with it! Who wants to see a Goo Goo Dolls Christmas album next year? I DO !! I just love John's voice :) City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there is a feeling, of Christmas Kids are laughing, People passing Meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you'll hear: Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring- a- ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. Strings of street lights, Even stop lights, Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush, home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, See the kids bunch, This is Santa's big scene, And above all this bustle You'll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It's Christmas time in the city, Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day...

Song: I'll Be Home For Christmas Artist: Peter Hollens So happy I have gotten to be "home for Christmas" all my life. Each and every Christmas is spent with my family and I love it! I rue the day that might change. It will be the hardest thing for me to be away from home, my family, my traditions, everything! This song is so heart-warming and has such a cozy feeling to it. There's no place like home! I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love Even more than I usually do And although I know it's a long road back I promise you I'll be home for Christmas You can count on me Please have snow and mistletoe And presents on the tree Christmas eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams Christmas eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams If only in my dreams M E R R Y  C H R I S T M A S ! !

Song: It Feels Like Christmas Artist: From, Muppets Christmas Carol I can't believe I have never posted this fantastic song before!! From one of my most favorite Christmas movies (and one of my favorite Christmas stories) this song reminds up to keep the happy, cheerful, loving and hopeful spirit of Christmas with us all throughout the year! I hope to do that in 2018! It's in the singing of a street corner choir It's going home and getting warm by the fire It's true, wherever you find love It feels like Christmas A cup of kindness that we share with another A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother In all the places you find love It feels like Christmas It is the season of the heart A special time of caring The ways of love made clear It is the season of the spirit The message, if we hear it Is make it last all year It's in the giving of a gift to another A pair of mittens that were made by your mother It's all the ways t...

Song: Puppies Are Forever Artist: Sia LOVE this funny song!! And couldn't agree more!! The chorus is catchy and the song is brilliant! I love dogs (especially my sweet boy)! Oh how much, oh how much For the puppy in the window? I can see him being so alone I believe he sees a friend in me Oh how much, oh how much For the puppy in the window? How I love his little pink nose I think he's waiting to come home with me Found my best friend At the old dog pound The old dog pound The old dog pound Found my best friend At the old dog pound The old dog pound The old dog pound Puppies are forever, not just for Christmas Puppies are forever, not just for Christmas Puppies are forever, not just for Christmas Puppies are forever, not just for Christmas Cause they're so cute and fluffy with shiny coats But will you love 'em when they're old and slow? Puppies are forever, not just for Christmas Puppies are forever, puppies are forever, oh Oh, oh...

Song: Snowflake Artist: Sia Surprisingly, Sia's Everyday Is Christmas ended up being one of my favorite Christmas albums to listen to this month! This song is dedicated to the snow that only lasted from Christmas Eve night to Christmas day afternoon. I don't want it back until next Christmas but knowing my luck, it will be here in full winter-wonderland force by January and February :( When I have to do a lot of driving! I just wanted snow for the month of December!!! And then no more!!! Anyway, this is a cute if extremely random song :) Snowflake I catch you tonight Catch you and keep you on ice, my love Snowflake you know you're the only one There's no one like you, so I'm gonna hide you My sweet Keep you till winter when you won't be needing me Snowflake I'm trying to keep you safe You gave me your trust and I want you safe Snowflake you know I've got your back There's no one like you, so I'm gonna hide you My sweet Keep y...

Song: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Artist: Josh Groban M E R R Y  C H R I S T M A S 2 0 1 7 ! ! I wish everyone could have as beautiful and merry of a holiday as I have had!! I feel so blessed and grateful for this beautiful Christmas day I have spent with my loved ones gathered together. I am so blessed. I hope to keep the spirit of Christmas with me throughout this new year. To serve a little more, love a little more and remember my Savior and the gift He gives to me always. It ended up being a white Christmas after all (at least in the morning.....by mid-afternoon the snow was all but gone). I love Christmas! I love the holidays! I love this song :) Merry Christmas to all! Thank you for joining me for another full month of Christmas songs to celebrate the season! I'm planning on continuing to post up until the new year, so keep coming back daily! Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight ...
