Saw this on social media today and wanted to share tonight...
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope,
the Spirit of Christmas which is peace,
and the heart of Christmas which is love
After the last few months in America, I think that is especially poignant.
And speaking of poignant, here's a clip (posted on Facebook earlier this week by one of my former colleagues) of one of my favorite scenes from a show none of you probably remember called Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It was created by Aaron Sorkin and starred Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford. I loved it, but after a much-hyped debut, only about 10 people ended up watching it, so it only lasted one season (2006-07). But it was really good. And this Christmas episode was an amazing hour of television. As someone who loves New Orleans and am still shocked, saddened and ticked off by what happened there in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, I love this classic Christmas song -- performed by musicians of New Orleans led by "Trombone Shorty" -- while it breaks my heart at the same time. Enjoy and remember to count your blessings...
