Christmastime is almost here, hence this musical accompaniment to see us into a mid-December weekend. The holidays are in full-effect, and December has already clicked into the double digits, so it’s coming on quicker than we might like. To slow things down a bit, here’s a glorious bit of slow jazz, courtesy of the great Vince Guaraldi. His music for Charlie Brown is a Christmas staple – a classic that gets better with each passing year – something that can’t be said for all of us. Take a list on this Friday afternoon/evening and indulge in something relaxing.
Here are a few snow photos from a recent snowfall that was more pretty than annoying, which is the best way snow can behave. Nestled in the uplifted little arms of a juniper, it makes a beautiful blanket, transforming the gray and brown landscape into the stuff of wonderland.
Not a bad look for a Friday before Christmas, when the hustle and bustle threaten to overtake the true meaning of the season. It’s a time for quiet and peace, to reconnect to what the story of Christmas originally told.
