Greetings, Wonderful and Awesome People

I pray that your week has been an excellent one so far. My hubby and I are preparing for Christmas. We have two trees up and decorated. We still have a couple more trees that still need to be brought in from the garage. And then there are also the nativity scenes, the Victorian village, and the items for the wall. We put a lot of time into decorating because we love the season so much. We don’t try to do it all in one day or one weekend. We take our time and enjoy the moment.

While we are scurrying through the house with an ornament in hand and sorting through the boxes of decorations, we will usually have some Christmas tunes playing in the background. Something upbeat and lively to get us in the right frame of mind to decorate. No sad or slow song here. I don’t need to be crying while I am figuring out the decoration theme for my Christmas trees.

On my playlist during this Christmas season is the new Lauren Daigle concert that recently aired on BYUtv. Lauren is best known for the powerful ballad, “You Say”, which held the number one spot on the Billboard Christian charts for more than 100 weeks. An amazing feat that has never been achieved prior to his happening in September. As a Louisiana native, you would expect that Lauren would have jazz and blues in her musical roots. In her Christmas special, Lauren pays homage to these roots with a New Orleans jazz concert with soulful spiritual hymns and upbeat modern-day classics. If you like jazz and Christmas tunes, this is the perfect concert for you.
