Keep Christmas With You


Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all. I hope everyone had a beautiful and blessed Christmas. As I am sitting here this morning, having my coffee, I am reminded of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Christmas shows. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.

For the younger generation that might not have seen it, I don't think it gets aired anymore, Big Bird ends up running all over town searching for the answer to the question asked to him by Oscar The Grouch, "How do you think a big guy like Santa Claus can get down those itty bitty chimneys?" And if that wasn't enough, Oscar also told him that if Santa can't down the chimneys, there'll be no presents on Christmas morning.

So the song I am about to post comes from that show.

Keep Christmas With You All Through The Year

When Christmas time is over and presents put away, don't be sad
There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day and the fun we've had
So may happy feelings to celebrate with you
And, oh, the good times hurry by so fast,
But even when it's over there's something you can do to make Christmas last

Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
You can keep it near.
Think of this Christmas day
When Christmas is far away.

Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,

Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.

Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and joy to you,
The goodness of loving,
The gladness of living;
These are Christmas too.

So, keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.

As I said, one of my favorite songs. It just means the good feelings don't need to end at Christmas. We should keep those good, positive feelings all year long. Embrace them. Cherish them!!

Wishing everyone all the love and happiness for a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!! Cherish the moments, and embrace the positivity!!
