The Bard said it best in his play "Twelfth Night"
"If music be the food of love, play on"
Let's skew his meaning a bit and see just where the love of food and the love of music takes us.

Melancholy Christmas
I understand completely that the holiday season is not joyous for many people, so here are some Christmas tunes echoing that sentiment.
I am sure the crisis line is in overflow mode. I know several people who are experiencing their first Christmas after a loss or calamity in their lives and this season is anything but merry.
Thank you for sharing these Christmas songs. This has been a tough year for me and I'm not into Christmas at all. It's always been my favorite time of year. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year!
It is hard. I do have my sister , BIL, DIL2 and Son2 close by and we will all see each other. I will miss the others but will be part of their Christmases via Facetime.
Yes, Christmas can be a very difficult time for some, especially if it is the first one after a loved one has passed away or there have been other unhappy events during the year.
Hey y'all thanks for leaving a comment. They are much appreciated. I read them all and do my best to respond to them, except for trolls or spam and I delete those suckers forever.
Christmas is indeed a difficult time for many. Our crisis line is already running hot. Thank you for remembering those people.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you as well, Debby. This is an odd Christmas for us also, but I decided I am going to have as much joy as possible.
DeleteIt's hard to be without family during the holiday season. I'm fortunate to have friends who invite me to spend Christmas with them.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteIt is nice that musicians understand the Christmas blues also.
DeleteThank you for this. What a good reminder to not assume Christmas is always joyful for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt is not, and I have some friends who had losses during the year and this is not a happy holiday for them.
