Well, after a brief posting hiatus, I am back. I've been blessed with a busy month, and my blog activity (or lack thereof) is a direct reflection of that. But, to make up for it, and to offer a bit of holiday cheer, you'll receive not one, but two posts today! So don't say I never did anything for you.
As is tradition in the Myers house, the moments following the Thanksgiving meal mark the beginning of the Christmas season. I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to my strong stance against the overlap of the 2 seasons, reaching to the point of acceptable date ranges for a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (November 1-Thanksgiving Day, and Peppermint Mochas (Thanksgiving day, post-turkey-January 1 (see footnote). In order to properly celebrate the seasons, I believe everyone should adopt this protocol. I'm also thinking of requesting it be incorporated into the church calendar. But, I digress...
To mark the official changing of the guards of the holidays, post-turkey ceremonies in the Myers home include the playing of the annual compilation of the Myers Christmas CD. 5 years running, this collection has added to the ambience of the Myers Christmas home. And, as the creator of the cd, it is also my responsibility to design the cover. While most past years' designs have been lost, 2007 is shown below. 2008's design is being unveiled above.
2008's playlist is as follows:
There's no place like home for the holidays - Perry Como
Jolly Old St. Nicholas/Little Drummer Boy - The Ray Conniff Singers
It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Perry Como
Jingle Bells/Sleigh Ride - Henry Mancini Orchestra
What child is this? (Greensleeves) - Sarah Mclachlan
O Holy Night - Perry Como
Here we come a-caroling - The Ray Conniff Singers
I wonder as I wander - Choir of New College Oxford
Silent Night - Enya
Please come home for christmas - Harry Connick, jr.
The Holly and the Ivy - Cambridge Choir
We need a little christmas - The Ray Conniff Singers
A Holly jolly christmas - Burl Ives
Auld Lang Syne - Mairi Campbell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
UD+M and the Myers family wish you a wonderful christmas season. We hope that you embrace all that is this season. Take some time to indulge each of your senses over the next few weeks. Drink mulled wine, listen to christmas music (oh, see second footnote...), enjoy the scent of freshly baked cookies, watch a Christmas classic, and hug your family. But most importantly, embrace this season every day as a reminder of the wonderful Gospel story.
footnote: The ending date for Peppermint Mocha season is a little more flexible, since it marks the default back to the standard Tall Mocha. The end date is more dependent on weather and seasonal activity than the actual holiday itself, but never, ever, reaching into February.
another footnote: Like I said, don't say I never gave you anything... Click here, here, and here. Merry Christmas

Ry, you rock! Thanks!
And while I'm not as much a purist as you about the music (I'm guilty of playing it before Thanksgiving...), I definitely agree on the Starbucks drinks. Did you know that if you buy any of their holiday specials they will donate money to the Global Fund? One more reason to go frequently!
love,
Stine
I am just hung up on the fact that the cover for this year's CD will not open....and that I did click "here, here, and here" but nothing happened.
Sorry....didn't mean to be annonymous.....Love DAD
Ooops.....the "click here" thing just loaded....my computer must be SLOW! Still not seeing the 2008CD cover though.....maybe it will open up overnight! :-)
