It’s still early enough in the holiday season that you shouldn’t be tired of Christmas music yet. I’ve actually been spinning Christmas tracks now for a few weeks trying to sort through what I have and what you might like to hear.
If you were around my Internet neighborhood last year then you probably know that I have a decent collection of Christmas music and attempted to share some of it with you. If you and I were not connected by the Internets last year, then you missed out on the single greatest event in the history of mankind. Sorry. Lucky for you, we’ll try and recreate it this year.
With a little pre-planning already done, my goal is to keep you supplied with some music for your collection that will hopefully give you something other than the Chipmunks or David Archuleta for your listening pleasure. If you have the be-boppinist, toe-tappinest, do-wop of a track that you’d like to share, get in touch.
To catch the newbies up, this first couple of posts are just some highlights of things missed in 2009.

I should have started a little sooner for my Christmas in Colors because I have run myself out of time. I had a few things picked out for white, yellow and green (both color & mindset) but not enough of any of them yet for their own individual posts. So I made a casserole. Enjoy.
Of course I would be remiss without finishing out the entire series with my thoughts on the best gifts of all, the gift of giving/service to others. The second set here are all about non-profits or services/products promoting good. If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the top 5-10% of the world’s wealthiest people and have the opportunity to help out in ways that we often forget. Whether your desire to help is focused on spiritual, people or environmental, there’s something here for you. Even if you don’t have passion for any of the below that I do, I’d encourage you to find your own places to plug in and help. Strapped for cash? There’s plenty of coat drives to start, food lines to help serve and sandwiches to hand out in your neighborhood. Make it happen.
In human color psychology, red is associated with bravery, purity, happiness, good luck, heat, energy, and blood, and emotions that “stir the blood”, including anger, passion, love, pain, and sacrifice. In Christmas in Colors it just represents more material things you should get your hands on.
