#38 - Christmas Carols

​Hot Chocolate and Piano


​We leave for Thailand in 2 days, so I've been busy. But I gave myself a break today and made some hot chocolate. (It is 80 degrees in Houston, after all!) Then I sat down to the piano and played carols.

I loved it when my mom played Christmas carols on the piano. We 4 kids would gather around with what we called,  "rhythm band instruments". They were kept in a little straw suitcase, beside the piano. We'd crash cymbals and tap wooden sticks and ring bells while we sang all the traditional favorites.

My secret favorite was "Friendly Beasts". I loved it because I associated the carol with my family... singing with my siblings, while Mom played the piano. I never sang it at school or church. 

​Sadly I couldn't find it in any of my books. But I hummed it later. I'm afraid I couldn't remember many of the words.

    Sixty
    Celebrations

    It's April 9, 2017.  I'm celebrating my 60th by removing the zero from my age.

    Party
    ​Like A Six-Year-Old


    I plan to spend this year pondering the good things I remember about my world, when I was 6. I remember those 12 months well, because my family moved from Iowa to NYC for just one year. My memories of 1963-64 are vivid ones.

    My Plan

    I'll celebrate this milestone birthday for 12 months. I'm going to conjure up the early 1960's and have 60 mini celebrations... in the spirit of my 6 year old self!
