So, in the realm of Christmas songs, being that I'm pagan, I don't have many favorites. But there are two that I love, from some widely different sources. The first is by a Christian group (funny, huh?) called Point of Grace. It's off of Jim Brickman's Christmas album, "The Gift." They did a little song called "Hope is Born Again," which I've found is easily adapted to the pagan point of view as it is Christian.
But my all time favorite is from an old movie that almost no one remembers, much less likes. It's from the Robin Williams movie Toys, and it's in the movie at the very end.
This time of year is never the best for me. Be it holiday blues, or missing family and friends who are gone, or whatever, I always find it a time of joy and sorrow mixed. This is the only song I've ever found that speaks to me, to my experiences.
( The Closing of the Year. )
Happy holidays, whichever you celebrate, and may the warmth of friends and family fill your hearts and life for the season, and the coming year.
