Christmas is just around the corner!

Handmade Ornaments at Chicago’s Christkindlmarket

You can see gorgeous decorations and hear so many beautiful Christmas songs.

My favorite Christmas song is Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin’s “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” I absolutely love the way that Judy Garland performs it. Her voice was so powerful and extremely moving.

This song gives me goosebumps because of all of the emotions you can feel through the vocals and lyrics. Judy Garland was an extremely amazing singer.

This song moves me much more this year, compared to other years, because I have lost two people very dear to me.

I will get through Christmas this year because I know that I can enjoy the time with the family that I have left. I can remember my late aunt and grandmother on Christmas. I also know that through the memories that my family has of them, as well as the memories I have of them, they will be with us on Christmas.

If you celebrate Christmas, and if you have lost anyone recently, I truly hope that you can get through Christmas by remembering those you have lost, but also not forgetting that you have the opportunity to make new memories and new traditions with the family you still have.
