Watching another Rankin Bass creation that I’ve somehow missed though the years. “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus”, based on a book by Frank L. Baum.

This might be best watched in an elevated state.

Starry night sky with a bright Milky Way over the snow-capped Tahoma and pine forest, accidentally light painted red by headlamps used by photographers next to me. The scene is serene, with a meteor streaking above.

“It was the time of year when things could change their nature. […] And already, my true love said taking my arm, we're past the shortest. Light is shaving the darkness off already, a couple of minutes a day. Have you noticed?”

—from 2008: “Do you call that a Christmas present?” – a short story by Ali Smith

The hidden history of 'White Christmas'

Nearly every pop music holiday song written in the past 80 years owes at least some of its DNA to one Christmas tune in particular: "White Christmas," written by Irving Berlin and sung by Bing Crosby, which he first recorded in 1942.

Bing Crosby - White Christmas. A-side label of the 1942 10-inch single.

The A-side label of Bing Crosby's original 1942 Decca Records 10-inch 78 RPM single of "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin, from the Paramount Picture "Holiday Inn." The historic recording features Bing Crosby with Ken Darby Singers and John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra. This became the best-selling single of all time and defined the modern Christmas music canon.

No #Christmas prayers from me, I'm afraid, due to illness. But I have posted prayers for the Sunday after Christmas and (a bit early), prayers for #Epiphany, which will be useful if the Wise Men are a focus for Christmas #worship

Finished prepping vegetables for tomorrow (and stuffing, though I made yorkshire puddings last Sunday and they are in the freezer) so thats spread some of the stress over 2 days not 1. Hit play on my music and immediately energised again (highly recommend if you like punky indie)

The rollercoaster of energy, lack of, excitement, worry, joy, stress and more has started and I will need to make sure I have these little moments of distraction.

Good luck to all those who are sat on the same rollercoaster. It will finish! Wishing everyone peace, calm, relief from chronic pain, quiet thoughts and where needed, hugs for everyone.

Hey, so, Christmas is coming, and I have a little Redbubble store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Rhube/shop?asc=u

Maybe there's something in there you'd like to buy for someone? Some of it is Pride themed, and you'd be supporting a non-binary, disabled artist.
