The weather has turned colder now in the South. I love this time of year as leaves are turning beautiful vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange. Soon they will fall to the ground and be swept away by the Winter wind.

I bundled up for work thinking to myself, “I am not ready for this …” but soon after arriving at work and turning my little heater on in my office, I thought of how the cold weather would soon be ushering in the Christmas Spirit. People would be nicer, more friendly, warm and welcoming in your dealings with them.

Wanting that feeling right then and there, I did what any sane person would do in the middle of October. I put in my Christmas Memories CD by David Osborne and allowed the tunes to whisk me away to happier times.

Familiar tunes ringing in my ear took me back to when I sang in the choir at church. I always looked forward to the Christmas cantatas and bellowing out Joy To The World with great enthusiasm with the other choir members.

I’ll Be Home for Christmas always makes me think of service men and women that are not able to be with their families at Christmastime. They sacrifice for us so that we may have a peaceful Christmas with our loved ones.

White Christmas reminds me of 7th and 8th Grade Chorus in middle school when I had to sing duet with my classmate, Chris. Not only did I get to sing with him, but I also got to perform the sign language to it as well. This was my absolute favorite and something I will never, ever forget doing! A local radio station came to this performance, and I’ll never forget my excitement thinking that we would be heard on the radio!

There are so many wonderful Christmas songs that have memories rushing in as they began to play. A wide smile formed on my lips as I allowed myself to get swept up in the moment of Christmas Memories.

Mr. Osborne has done an excellent job and plays piano so beautifully. You will not be disappointed in this CD. This is one you can play to get in the Christmas spirit or play as you’re decorating the Christmas tree! It is so good that I would have it playing as background music as we gather with family around the table to eat the Christmas feast.

I can tell this CD will get a lot of use this holiday season and encourage you to give it a try as well. Allow it to sweep you away and usher in Christmas Memories of years past for you, too.
