Hi friends, welcome back to a holiday episode of Songs From Home…
This is another song from “Come Darkness, Come Light”, written after I saw holiday decorations being installed in town just before Halloween…it felt rushed, strange, out of order…
And that’s where the song begins, but it ends up being a wish for a snowy holiday, bookmarked by nostalgia for the Beatles, traditions and more than anything else the hope for peace on our one and only earth.
In 2020, I say that Christmas is whatever makes you happy and comforted. Neon lights, singing wreaths, top 40 Christmas music, ugly sweaters, holiday movies, and spiked eggnog…
And while you’re enjoying all of those traditions, especially if you’re lucky enough to safely be with others this year, don’t forget those who aren’t as fortunate, who may be alone and far from home, who may be just barely hanging on, who are waiting in an endless food bank line, who are afraid of being evicted, who can’t pay their bills, who need kindness, empathy and compassion. Perspective has never been more valuable as it is during this Covid winter.
Until the next time, stay well, stay strong, wear your mask everywhere, carry on, and #staymighty !
